Avalanche warning in effect for Island Park, surrounding communities
The Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center in Bozeman, Montana issued the warning a little after 6 a.m. Sunday. It remains in effect until Monday at 5:30 a.m.
During this time, officials say avalanche danger “is high on all slopes.”
“Natural and human triggered slides are very likely,” the warning says. “Heavy snowfall on a snowpack with unstable weak layers will make human triggered avalanches very likely.”
Officials say avalanches can be triggered from flat terrain and they are urging backcountry travelers to stay away from steep slopes and the bottom of steep slopes.
“Steep slopes can avalanche far above and run into lower angled terrain,” officials say.
Similar avalanche danger may exist outside the area. For additional information, visit the avalanche center’s website. You can also click here.
