Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE. Weaknesses persist near the base of the snowpack. In some areas, the possibility remains for people, especially those on snow machines, to trigger full depth hard slab avalanches on very steep, higher elevation avalanche paths.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )The Pacific weather system will begin to move into the region Monday bringing increased cloud cover followed by afternoon snow showers. Overnight lows in the mountain will be near 10 before climbing into the low 20s during the day. Ridgetop winds will be southwesterly at 15 to 25 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be Moderate on Monday. A slight chance may remain for large loads to trigger full depth avalanches at the upper elevations. In steep, wind loaded avalanche terrain, backcountry travelers could also trigger loose snow sluffs, and isolated pockets of surface slab up to 12 inches deep.
