Tetons

A series of melt-freeze cycles, direct sunlight and a refrozen rain layer have resulted in a snowpack that is mostly stable at all elevations. New snow is falling on this snowpack that is topped with widespread hard and slick crusts while settled powder still lies in steep shaded slopes. Be advised that low hazard does not mean no hazard exists and backcountry travelers are encouraged to take caution and not be surprised by isolated pockets of newly formed small, shallow surface slabs, especially in terrain where a fall could carry severe consequences.

A moist, Pacific trough will bring periods of snowfall to the mountains overnight and into Sunday afternoon. Overnight lows in the mountains will be in the low 20s before rising into the upper 20s during the day. There, precipitation will remain in the form of snow. The valleys will dip below freezing by daybreak on Sunday before climbing into the mid 30s during the day, and a mix of rain and snow will be possible as the day warms. Southerly ridgetop winds will veer to the southwest at 15 to 25 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be Moderate Sunday morning and will rise during the day as additional snowfall accumulates. Skiers and riders could trigger shallow pockets of newly developed soft slab in leeward avalanche terrain near ridgelines. In the Togwotee Pass area, a slight chance may persist to trigger full depth avalanches on northerly aspects above 9,000 feet.
