Togwotee Pass

The General Avalanche Hazard is LOW. Mostly stable snow exists and avalanches are unlikely. A chance of triggering an isolated pocket of slab persists in the steepest, higher areas.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A strong temperature inversion is expected to build Saturday night as a dry airmass with warmer temperatures advects into the region at the mountain top level. This airmass will keep overnight lows at the upper elevations in the negative single digits as the valley plummets into the negative teens. Light winds, 10-15 mph, should continue out of the Northwest.The General Avalanche Hazard is expected to be LOW at all elevations on Sunday. Mostly stable snow exists, and avalanches are unlikely. Low avalanche hazard does not mean no avalanche hazard, and backcountry travelers could still trigger isolated pockets of slab 6 to 12 inches in depth on steep, wind loaded starting zones near ridge crests.
