Skiers and riders could trigger slab avalanches on density breaks within the recent snowfall These could occur in steep terrain at all elevations, but the highest consequences will be on upper elevation slopes where these slabs could be up to 30 inches deep. In lower elevation terrain, smaller slabs around a foot deep will be possible. Meanwhile, the general avalanche hazard is expected to remain Moderate on Togwotee Pass where backcountry travelers have the potential of triggering persistent slabs with depths ranging from one to two feet.
