Tetons

In very steep wind loaded terrain at the high elevations skiers and riders have the potential to trigger recently formed soft slabs to depths of two feet. At the mid elevations isolated pockets to a foot in depth could be triggered. As new snow continues to accumulate the chance to initiate surface sluffs and very soft surface slabs will also develop. Avalanches are unlikely at low elevations today.

The next system is to bring increasing clouds on Saturday with snow expected to return in the afternoon and evening. Highs are to be in the mid twenties and southwest winds are to have averages between ten and fifteen miles per hour. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be Moderate. Skiers and riders will have the potential to trigger soft slabs with depth to two feet in steep wind loaded terrain above 8000 feet. This hazard will increase during the first part of the day if significant sunlight and warming affect the snow surface before the next disturbance arrives.
