Tetons

Two avalanche problems remain a concern at the mid and upper elevations. First, pockets of soft, surface slab ranging in depth from one to two feet could be triggered in wind-loaded starting zones. Second, areas of older, hard slab up to 4 feet deep persist primarily on easterly, northeasterly, and northerly aspects. More substantial triggers such as large groups, snowmobiles, or surface slides may be needed to initiate these hard slabs. Avalanches are unlikely at the lower elevations due to shallow snow depths.

Light snow will end Monday night as high pressure builds into the region. Skies will be mostly sunny Tuesday with mountain highs reaching the mid teens. Winds will be northerly to easterly at 20 miles per hour.The General Avalanche Hazard will be Moderate. Surface slabs one to two feet in depth on slopes receiving drifted snow over the past few days are possible. Concern continues for more difficult to trigger deeper hard slabs on easterly to northerly slopes.
