Tetons

At the mid and high elevations some potential remains for riders or skiers to trigger isolated pockets of surface slab to two feet in depth or possibly larger hard slabs to six feet in depth in a few very steep avalanche paths. It is likely to require heavier loads such as snow machines or groups of people to initiate these dangerous hard slabs. Avalanches are unlikely at low elevations where mostly stable snow exists.

Snow is expected to fall in the mountains by daylight on Friday. In some favored locations, such as the Wyoming range, up to six inches could fall by Friday night. Mountain temperatures are to reach the mid twenties and be accompanied by 20-25 mph winds from the west-southwest. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be Moderate. A slight chance continues for humans to trigger large hard slab avalanches to six feet in depth in a few very steep avalanche paths. Initiating such a slide is likely to require larger loads such as snow machines or more than one person on the slope at a time. As snow arrives during the day loose snow sluffs will become possible.
