Sawtooth Avalanche Center

December 14

The Avalanche Warning for the Banner Summit and Sawtooth & Western Smoky Zones has expired, but the avalanche danger remains HIGH in these zones. Stay off of and out from beneath all steep slopes in these areas. Dangerous conditions also exist in the Galena Summit & Eastern Mtns and Soldiers & WR Valley Mtns zones, especially on upper elevation slopes with evidence of wind drifting.
