Tetons

Slabs to two feet in depth lie upon surface hoar and hard snow surfaces at the upper elevations. These slabs could be triggered in steep wind loaded terrain today by backcountry skiers and riders, particularly on untracked slopes near ridge crests where the most significant loading occured. At the mid elevations isolated pockets of slab to one foot could be triggered. Warming today will increase the sensitivity of these surface slabs and provide the possibility of small wet slide activity at all elevaitions.

Following a small amount of snow that is expected to fall overnight, skies are to be partly cloudy in the morning before becoming overcast again in the afternoon as another weak system enters the area. Highs temperatures are to be in the twenties in the mountains and winds are to be Westerly at 20-30 mph. The avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW on Wednesday. In steep wind loaded upper elevation terrain the possibility will continue to trigger surface slabs in isolated pockets.
