General Avalanche Advisory
The snowpack is mostly stable as it has undergone melt-freeze cycles since the beginning of March. Today, new snow is expected over the Tetons with moderate to strong winds, and these conditions could form shallow small pockets of wind slab on leeward slopes at the highest elevations. The new snow is falling on firm surfaces, so loose snow sluffing could occur naturally on steep terrain. If there are periods of sunshine, the new snow could become reactive and easily slide on firm surfaces. Monitor the development of the storm and the strange loading pattern with atypical easterly winds.SPONSORS: Box Y Ranch, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Togwotee Mountain Lodge, Brooks Lake Lodge, Wyoming State Trails Program, Bruce Hayse M.D., Chippy's Kitchen and Catering, Skinny Skis, Apex Real Estate and Property Management, Grand Teton Floor & Window Coverings, Grand Targhee Resort, DeFazio Law, Eco Tour Adventures, Grand Teton National Park Foundation, Stewart Johnson, CPA, Next Level Riding Clinics, RPK3 Law, Stio, Teton Gravity Research, Jackson Hole Snow Devils, Yostmark, Tower 3 Investments, Weston Snowboards, Ortovox, Grand Fishing Adventures, Ski Doo, Jeff Greenbaum MD, Jack Stout at Mountain Standard Realty and Holland & Hart
