Tetons

New snow and Westerly winds have deposited shallow soft slabs in avalanche terrain at the mid and upper elevations. At the upper elevations these slabs could be triggered to eighteen inches in depth on steep slopes this morning and will increase in sensitivity and size as snow continues to fall today accompanied by strong West winds. At the mid elevations pockets of new soft slab could be human triggered to a foot in depth on wind loaded aspects today. Once triggered these slabs could pull out areas of deeper layers of snow at mid and upper elevations from our last storm system to an additional two feet on steep slopes near cliff and rocky areas. At the low elevations isolated shallow pockets of slab could be triggered in wind loaded areas as snow and wind continue today.
