Avalanche Discussion
Inverted conditions are expected to continue to build overnight with the mountain dropping into the single digits as the valley plummets to near 10 below zero. Clear skies should continue to dominate on Sunday with temperatures rising into the upper teens at all elevations. Northwesterly ridgetop winds are forecasted to increase to 10 to 20 mph by Sunday morning.The General Avalanche Hazard in the TETON area is expected to remain LOW. Mostly stable snow exists and avalanches are unlikely.In the CONTINENTAL DIVIDE/TOGWOTEE PASS and SOUTHWEST TRAILS/GREYS RIVER areas, the General Avalanche Hazard is expected to stay MODERATE. A basal layer of weak, faceted snow persists and skiers or riders who venture into steep, avalanche-prone terrain could trigger dangerous hard slab avalanches to the depth of the total snowpack.
