The North Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center has
issued a backcountry avalanche warning effective
from 6 a.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday.
The area affected includes The Selkirk, Purcell,
Cabinet and St. Joe Mountains and the St. Regis
Basin.
One to three feet of new heavy snow is sitting
atop a base of low-density snow which will not
support the additional load.
Avalanches, both natural and human caused, are
likely on all aspects above 4,000 feet.
Travel in avalanche prone terrain is not
recommended. This warning does not include ski
areas where regular avalanche control is
performed. |
