AVALANCHE DANGER REMAINS HIGH - May 30, 2015
Significant wet snow avalanche activity was observed throughout the Teton Range today. Evidence of both point release and slab avalanches was visible on Teewinot's East Face and rangers reported that wet slides were easily triggered by human travel. Warm temperatures, recent heavy rain and snow, and strong solar radiation have produced a very weak snowpack in the alpine. While these conditions remain please use EXTREME CAUTION when deciding whether or not to travel on or under steep snow slopes.
REMINDERS:
Baxter’s Pinnacle and its southwest descent gully remained closed due to an active peregrine falcon nest. Please respect this closure while they attempt to successfully raise more young.
