Tetons

Skiers and riders have the potential to trigger isolated pockets of soft slab formed during last week's storm cycle. These pockets of slab can be found at all elevations, particularly in steep terrain not affected by recent sunshine and warm inversion conditions. The few inches of new snow can also be triggered today as loose sloughs or as very shallow soft slabs in steep terrain. Remember that low hazard does not mean no hazard exists and even small slides can have severe consequences in terrain traps and in cliff areas.

Expect mostly dry conditions overnight before the chance for light snow showers increases during the day. Overnight lows in the mountains will be in the upper single digits before returning into the upper teens during the day. Southerly ridgetop winds will range from 10 to 20 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be Low in the Tetons. Low hazard does not mean no hazard. Skiers and riders venturing into to very steep, avalanche prone terrain might be able to trigger an isolated pocket of surface slab.In the Togwotee Pass and Greys River areas, the hazard is expected to be Moderate. The primary concern in the Togwotee Pass forecast zone will be persistent deep slabs on northerly aspects above 9,000 feet. In the Greys River area, it will be unlikely to trigger one of these slides, but due to their high consequences it still warrants mention. Pockets of surface slab up to 30 inches deep could also be triggered down south.
