Togwotee Pass

A completed melt-freeze cycle has created a mostly stable snowpack and the general avalanche hazard is LOW this morning. Daytime warming will increase the avalanche hazard to MODERATE as surface crusts break down, making wet point slides possible on steep, sunlit aspects. In the afternoon stay off of very steep sun affected slopes, and avoid steep drainages and gullies beneath them.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )High pressure is expected to keep skies mostly clear through the day on Tuesday. Mountain temperatures will dip into the upper teens tonight before rising to near 40 during the day. Overnight lows in the valleys will also be in the upper teens before rebounding to near 50. Ridgetop winds will be southwesterly at 5 to 15 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW Tuesday morning after a completed melt-freeze cycle creates a mostly stable snowpack. Above 7,500 feet, daytime warming will increase the avalanche hazard to MODERATE as surface crusts break down, making wet point slides possible on steep, sunlit aspects. In the afternoon stay off of very steep sun affected slopes, and avoid steep drainages and gullies beneath them. A limited snowpack below 7,500 feet will keep significant avalanches unlikely through the day.
