Pockets of CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exist on recently wind-loaded terrain above 6000 feet. Dangerous avalanche conditions exist on recently wind-loaded terrain steeper than 35 degrees. Though this is not currently
The avalanche danger is MODERATE above 5000 feet and LOW below 5000 feet. MODERATE danger means there is heightened avalanche conditions on specific terrain features. Natural avalanches are unlikely and
The avalanche danger is now MODERATE in all mountain locations above 5000 feet. Below 5000 feet the avalanche danger is LOW. MODERATE danger means there is heightened avalanche conditions on
The avalanche danger is MODERATE on all slopes steeper than 35 degrees above 5000 feet in most areas of west central Montana. Natural avalanches are unlikely. However, human triggered avalanches
The avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE on all wind loaded terrain above 5000 feet in west central Montana. Natural avalanches are possible and human triggered avalanches are likely. Careful snowpack evaluation
The avalanche danger is MODERATE above 5000 feet in west central Montana. Natural avalanches are unlikely; human-triggered avalanches possible. The avalanche danger is LOW below 5000 feet in west central
On all slopes above 5000 feet, the avalanche danger is MODERATE. Natural avalanches are unlikely, human-triggered avalanches are possible. There are heightened avalanche conditions on some terrain features. In the
The avalanche danger is HIGH on wind-loaded terrain steeper than 30 degrees. Natural avalanches are likely and human-triggered avalanches are very likely. Large avalanches are possible wherever wind slabs have
There is a MODERATE avalanche hazard in the West Central Montana backcountry on wind-loaded slopes steeper than 30 degrees. Careful evaluation of snow and terrain is recommended during MODERATE conditions. Good
Good morning. This is Dudley Improta with the West Central Montana Avalanche Center’s avalanche advisory for February 11, 2011. On slopes above 6000 feet that are wind-loaded and steeper than
