A mostly stable snowpack exists. Small pockets of wind slab and loose snow sluffs could be human triggered in steep avalanche starting zones and cliff areas, especially during the heat of the day. Exposure to greater hazard is possible for high risk activities, like high marking in the steep starting zones of major avalanche paths. Normal caution is advised
Isolated pockets of wind slab up to 18 inches in depth could be human triggered in steep, wind loaded avalanche starting zones. These surface slabs and loose snow sluffs may become more sensitive to human triggers during the warmest portion of the day.
( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )This high pressure ridge is expected to dominate the weather during the next several days. Strong radiational cooling will occur under clear skies overnight. Morning temperatures will be near zero or in the single digits below zero in the valleys and in the single digits above zero in the mountains. Daytime highs will rise into the 20s in the mountains.Weak layers of faceted snow persist in the snowpack in the Togwotee Pass/Continental Divide area where the general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE. Dense slab avalanches with depths to three could be triggered by snowmobiles in steep upper elevation avalanche paths. Mostly stable snow exists in the Teton and Greys River/Southwest Trails areas where the general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW.
