Tetons

Pockets of new soft slabs up to one foot in depth put in by westerly winds have formed in the mid and upper elevation starting zones. These slabs lie upon very slick sliding surfaces and can be easily triggered today. Deep slab instabilities persist and present the potential for these slabs to pull out deeper snow layers all the way to the ground, especially on steep wind loaded northerly upper elevation aspects. At the lower elevations wet slides could be triggered on steep snow covered slopes as the day warms.
