Tetons

The snowpack is mostly stable. Low hazard does not mean no hazard exists. Isolated pockets of recently formed wind slabs could be triggered at the mid and high elevations with depths of four to twelve inches on steep loaded slopes. Be cautious of terrain that has exposure to cliffs or obstacles as even small slides can knock people over and become serious events. The new snow is not expected to be a factor except for small loose sloughing in steep areas.

A westerly flow at the mid-level of the atmosphere is overrunning a cold north-northeast flow at the lower levels. This scenario will cause areas of low stratus clouds, patchy fog and areas of light snowfall on Sunday. Temperatures will be in the single digits in the morning and rise into the teens and 20s during the day. Winds will be northeast at 5 to 15 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW in the Teton and Greys River/Southwest Trails areas and MODERATE in the Togwotee Pass. Isolated pockets of surface slabs up to a foot in depth could be human triggered in very steep terrain in the Teton and Southwest Trails areas. There is a remote change for snowmobiles to trigger large hard slabs up to three feet deep on very steep northerly aspects in the Togwotee Pass area.
