Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the Park and Elkhead Ranges from Tuesday through Wednesday evening. Heavy snowfall and strong winds are creating very dangerous avalanche conditions. Expect widespread avalanches large enough to bury or kill a person. Some avalanches will release spontaneously. Travel in backcountry avalanche terrain is not recommended.
