In sintesi

Avalanche conditions remain dangerous above an elevation 8,000 feet where the hazard is considerable. New snow continues to increase the load on persistent weak layers formed earlier in the season. At the higher elevations humans who venture onto steep avalanche prone slopes are likely to trigger large to very large slab avalanches. Heightened avalanche hazards exist below an elevation of 8,000 feet where the avalanche hazard is rated as moderate. At those lower elevations human triggered avalanches are possible on some avalanche prone slopes.

    At the higher elevation humans could trigger large to very large slab avalanches on persistent weak layers of faceted snow. These dangerous avalanches could be up to four feet deep and could run long distances. At the lower elevations, below an elevation of 8,000 feet, small to large slab avalanches up to 2 feet in depth could be human triggered on steep avalanche prone slopes.

    In steep, wind loaded terrain above 8,000 feet, skiers and riders could trigger small to large wind slabs 1 to 2 feet deep. These wind slabs could step down to weak layers deeper in the snowpack and become a large persistent slab avalanche.

Avalanche Discussion

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Periods of light to moderate snow are expected until midnight. Periods of lighter snowfall will continue into Wednesday. Temperatures will remain in the single digits and teens in the mountains and be in the teens and 20’s at the lower elevations. Winds are forecast to be from the northwest at 10 to 20 miles per hour. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be considerable in the Greys River and Togwotee Pass areas. In these areas large to very large persistent slab avalanches are likely to be human triggered on some avalanche prone slabs. These dangerous slabs could be 2 to 6 feet deep. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be moderate in the Teton area where small to large slab avalanches could be human triggered on steep avalanche prone slopes. These slab avalanches could be 2 to 4 feet deep and could be large enough to seriously injure or kill a person.
