Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the Park Range and Elkhead Mountains through Monday. Heavy snow and strong winds are resulting in very dangerous avalanche conditions. 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.
