Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the Park Range and Elkhead Mountains. Heavy snow and strong wind will result in very dangerous avalanche conditions beginning Friday evening and lasting through the weekend. Avalanches will release naturally, especially on easterly slopes near and above treeline. Backcountry travelers can trigger large, wide, and dangerous avalanches that break into the snowpack two feet deep or more. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended during this time.
