Tetons

At the mid and upper elelvations soft surface slabs up to 30 inches deep formed by southwest winds exist on leeward aspects. These slabs continue to be triggered by skiers and pose a significant hazard especially at the upper elevations. Although many bold lines were skied yesterday the consequences of triggering one of these deeper slabs in steep terrain remain severe. Good terrain evaluation and decision making skills are essential today. Mostly stable snow exists at the lower elevations where avalanches are unlikely.
