Togwotee Pass

The General Avalanche Hazard remains MODERATE. A rider supporting upper snow layer rests on a base of weak, well-developed faceted snow, and deep slab instabilities remain a concern. If triggered, these dangerous, hard to predict slabs could fail to the ground, carrying the entire snowpack.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A weak system from the North will move over the region tonight into Wednesday bringing light snow with accumulations of 2 to 3 inches, daytime 10,000 foot highs only in the single digits and Northerly to Northeasterly winds to 20 mph.The General Avalanche Hazard in the TETON area will remain LOW on Monday. The snowpack is mostly stable and avalanches are unlikely. Remember, LOW hazard does not mean NO hazard, and an unlucky backcountry traveler could still trigger an isolated pocket of slab in steep, wind-loaded starting zones.In the CONTINENTAL DIVIDE/TOGWOTEE PASS and SOUTHWEST TRAILS/GREYS RIVER areas, the General Avalanche Hazard will stay MODERATE. A base layer of weak, faceted snow persists and skiers or riders who venture into steep, avalanche-prone terrain could trigger dangerous hard slab avalanches carrying the entire snowpack.
