Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the Ruby, Anthracite, and Ragged Mountains. Very dangerous avalanche conditions exist. You can easily trigger avalanches large enough to bury you and you can expect many of these avalanches to release naturally. Very dangerous avalanche conditions will likely continue through the weekend. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended.
