Sawtooth Avalanche Center

December 12

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the Banner Summit and Sawtooth & Western Smoky Zones. Stay off of and out from beneath all steep slopes in these areas.

There is a new General Avalanche Information product for the Galena Summit & Eastern Mtns and Soldier & Wood River Valley Mtns zones. The Avalanche Danger will increase during today’s storm. We will begin Daily Avalanche Forecasts, with danger ratings, tomorrow morning.
