The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE above an elevation of 8,500 feet and LOW below that elevation. At the higher elevations skiers and riders could trigger slab avalanches in steep terrain. Avalanches are not expected at the lower elevations.
Surface slabs up to two feet in depth could be human triggered in steep terrain. In isolated areas, on steep northerly aspects above an elevation of 9,000 feet, there may remain some potential for these slabs to step down to the ground.
( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A high pressure ridge will dominate the weather for the next several days. Skies will be mostly clear on Wednesday above areas of valley fog. Temperatures will drop to around 10 degrees at the upper elevations and to near zero in the valleys overnight and rise into the 20s during the day. Winds will be northwesterly at 5 to 10 miles per hour and slightly higher along the Continental Divide in the Togwotee Pass area. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE at the mid and upper elevations. Pockets of slab up to two feet in depth could be human triggered in steep terrain. Avalanches are unlikely at the lower elevations.
