Bottom Line: Near Island Park and West Yellowstone, where less new snow has fallen, large avalanches are unlikely. Small wind slab or wet loose avalanches in isolated areas are something to keep in mind, but would only be an issue in extreme terrain where being knocked over would have big consequences, like above cliffs or on long, firm steep slopes.
