Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. At the upper elevations isolated pockets of shallow wind slab could present a hazard to humans who venture into cliff areas. Some potential may remain for humans to trigger a pocket of dense slab up to two feet deep on northerly aspects in extreme terrain. Avalanches are unlikely elsewhere.
