Tetons

At the mid and upper elevations areas of unstable snow persist on steep avalanche prone slopes underlain by a weak base of faceted snow and along the the lee edge of high ridge lines. Humans who venture into steep avalanche terrain could trigger hard slab avalanches one to three feet deep. These slabs are likely to become more sensitive to failure as the day warms and could release on approach or after a slope has been crossed multiple times. Avalanches are unlikely at the lower elevations.

A high pressure ridge aloft will keep skies clear through Sunday. Ridge crest winds will be light and temperatures will climb from the single digits in the morning to the upper teens during the day.The General Avalanche Danger will continue at MODERATE above 8,000 feet. Areas of unstable snow persist. Backcountry travelers venturing into steep avalanche terrain could trigger a hard slab avalanche to three feet in depth. These slides could be started by a single person or after a slope has been crossed multiple times. At the lower elevations the general avalanche hazard is LOW and avalanches are unlikely.
