Togwotee Pass

The snowpack is mostly stable. Skiers and riders venturing into very steep avalanche starting zones could trigger isolated pockets of surface slab to a foot in depth. Always use safe practices when traveling in avalanche-prone terrain. Go one person at a time on suspect slopes and carry avalanche rescue gear.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Conditions will be mostly dry Wednesday with mountain temperatures warming from morning lows in the teens to the low to mid 30s. Ridge crest winds will be southwesterly around 20 miles per hour.Backcountry travelers will find it easy to release soft surface slabs and sloughs to 10 inches deep on very steep, upper elevation slopes. Most of these slides will be harmless but terrain traps or obstacles could make a small slide dangerous. Sunshine may also trigger sloughs. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW at all elevations with the exception of the possibility of dangerous, hard snow sliding from rooftops as temperatures climb.
