Togwotee Pass

At the highest elevations, isolated pockets of small wind slabs could become problematic for those who venture into extreme terrain. Also, during this time of year, the spring sun can quickly soften the snow and increase the wet snow avalanche hazard on slopes that receive direct sunlight. Monitor conditions for increasing wet snow avalanche hazards during the warmest periods of the day. On steep sustained slopes, over cliffs, or terrain traps these small slides could carry a person into a dangerous situation.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A deepening low-pressure trough will move from the west to the east over the next few days and bring unsettled weather to the forecast area.

Temperatures will start in the teens and then warm into the upper twenties and thirties. Northeasterly winds will veer to the east at 10 to 20 miles per hour with higher ridgetop gusts. The general avalanche hazard will remain Low in all the forecast areas. At the highest elevations, isolated areas of small wind slabs could exist and become problematic for those who venture into extreme terrain. Also, during this time of year, the spring sun can quickly soften the snow and increase the wet snow avalanche hazard on slopes that receive direct sunlight.
