Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. Above 9,000 feet isolated pockets of slab up to 18 inches deep lie upon weak, old snow surfaces on northerly aspects. Backcountry travelers still have some potential of triggering these slabs in steep, wind-loaded starting zones. Below 9,000 feet, the snowpack is shallow and avalanche activity is unlikely.
