Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. New light density snow will slide easily on crusts from the recent dry period. Deeper drifts exist on lee slopes at higher elevations and could be triggered by backcountry travellers.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. ) The northwest flow will continue to bring light snow to the area Sunday with southwest winds increasing to around 20 mph and daytime highs at 9000 feet in the mid twenties. Snow accumulations are expected to be between 2 and 4 inches. Sunday night will see more light snow and an increase in the southwest winds to 25 mph.AVALANCHE HAZARD FOR THE TETONS, TOGWOTEE PASS/CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND GREYS RIVER/SOUTHWEST TRAILS AREASThe general avalanche hazard for mid and upper elevations will depend on the total snowfall and wind through the night. Slabs are developing at higher elevations but a few more inches of snow and strong winds will be needed to create a significant hazard. Currently only steep, higher elevation lee slopes have much avalanche potential. The general avalanche hazard at low and mid elevations is expected to reamin LOW and the high elevation hazard will push toward MODERATE if forecasted snow and winds come this evening and tonight.
