Highlights
The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE today. Surface slabs up to two feet in depth exist in avalanche prone terrain. These slabs could be triggered today on steep wind loaded aspects and have the potential to pull out deeper layers of faceted snow. The sixth avalanche fatality of the season in Wyoming occured yesterday when an alpine skier triggered a slide in a very steep active dangerous avalanche path in a permanently closed area of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. A backcountry skier was comepletely buried in a gully by a small slide near Teton Pass on Sunday. This person was quickly recovered by companions.
