Tetons

The snow/rain line will remain around 9,000' with light showers continuing this morning before tapering off in the early afternoon. The moist new snow and rain yesterday morning helped to stabilize the snowpack with limited drifting of new snow at ridge tops. Today's weather will bring little change in snow stability. Small, isolated pockets of new shallow slabs may be found in wind loaded terrain features above 9500 feet with the potential for small, point releases near the rain/snow line in sun-warmed and weakened snow this afternoon. Low hazard does not mean no hazard. Backcountry travelers are urged to use caution in a shallow snowpack where rocks and stumps lurk just under the snow surface.

The warm weather will continue tomorrow with scattered clouds and temperatures about 15 degrees above average. The forecast high temperature for Rendezvous Mountain is 39F, and 47F at 8700’ at Togwotee Pass. Westerly winds will subside compared to today. Expect 20-25 mph and gusts to the mid 30’s mph in higher terrain.
