Avalanche danger ‘High’ with warm and wet weather

The Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center has issued an avalanche area for much of western Wyoming.

“Heavy snow and strong wind have created very dangerous avalanche conditions in the mountains. Slabs ranging from 1 to 3 feet in depth will be reactive to the weight of a skier or snowmobile. Natural avalanches are possible in wind loaded mid/upper elevation terrain and low elevation terrain where the snowpack is saturated from rain. Traveling in, near, or under avalanche terrain is not recommended today.

The NWS has issued a Winter Storm Warning that is in effect until  Monday 11am.

Weather conditions are expected to cool back off to typical February temperatures as the week progresses but officials are asking for snowmobilers to use caution.
