Tetons

The early season snowpack is mostly stable. Isolated pockets of shallow wind slabs may exist in very steep wind loaded terrain at the high elevations. Be cautious of the hazards involved with low snow depths. Teton County Search and Rescue responded to two separate injuries over the last week. Special Notice: Uphill hiking or skiing will not be permitted at Grand Targhee Resort for safety reasons as they prepare to open the ski area on Friday November 16th.

The ridge is to continue to build through Tuesday and last for several more days. Mild temperature inversions conditions could develop starting tonight. Tomorrow morning looks to be near zero in the valleys and near ten degrees in the mountains. In the afternoons, all elevations could reach into the low to mid thirties. The avalanche danger will continue to be low. The early season snowpack is generally stable although these weather conditions promote the development of crust and facet layers that can be problematic during future storms.
