At the upper elevations small pockets of dense new wind slab pose a hazard to skiers and riders . These slabs can be human triggered in steep terrain and could carry people over cliffs or for long distances in very steep chutes. Evaluate terrain carefully and consider the consequences of triggering a slide in that terrain. Avalanches are unlikely at the mid and lower elevations.
At the upper elevations small pockets of wind slab up to a foot in depth could be human triggered in very steep terrain. These slabs were formed by west-northwest winds.
Skies will be overcast with periods of light snowfall and convective snow showers. New snow accumulations of an inch or two are possible at the higher elevations overnight. Several additional inches of accumulation are possible at the higher elevations during the day. Winds will be light at 10 to 15 miles per hour from the west-southwest. Temperatures will be mostly in the 20s in the mountains and in the 20s and 30s in the valleys.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW in the Teton area where shallow isolated pockets of dense wind slab could be human triggered in very steep terrain at the upper elevations. A MODERATE hazard is anticipated in the Togwotee Pass and Greys River areas where some potential may remain for humans to trigger deep hard slab avalanches some in active upper elevation slide paths.
