TogwoteeLodgeRider Updates 2008/2009 Togwotee Pass!
- Thread starter TogwoteeLodgeRider
- Start date
looks like fun will be there march 7th, hopefully snow will still be great.
lots of POW!
ok, it looks likt Togwotee has been getting pounded on the past week or so. How does that affect the avy danger? Does it make it better or worse? I'm assuming more snow = more weight = higher danger. Just curious. We will be out there the 22-26th. I can't wait. I hope the snow keeps coming and the avys settle down!

The general avalanche hazard is HIGH. Up to a foot of new snow, strong winds and warming temperatures have created easily triggered soft slabs to two feet in depth on steep, lee slopes. Deeper, hard slabs continue to be triggered in the Angle Mountain area. The new snow will increase the chance of natural or rider triggered deep slides. TRAVEL IN AVALANCHE TERRAIN IS NOT RECOMMENDED. At lower elevations forecasted warm temperatures and rain will increase the chances of slides from roofs or steep areas like road cuts.
