Avalanche Warning
Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center Sandpoint ID
Relayed by National Weather Service Spokane WA
641 AM PST Sun Feb 23 2025

The Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center in Sandpoint has issued a
BACKCOUNTRY AVALANCHE WARNING for the following areas:
Bonner County, Boundary County, Shoshone County, Idaho.

* WHAT...An Avalanche Warning is in effect from Sunday 6 AM to Monday
  6 AM. Very dangerous avalanche conditions have developed from
  wet, dense snowfall and moderate to heavy rain saturating the
  snowpack and will last through Monday morning. You can very
  easily trigger avalanches large enough to bury or kill you, and
  some will release spontaneously. Avoid travel in avalanche
  terrain during this period.

* WHERE...The Selkirk, West and East Cabinet, Purcell, and Bitterroot
  Mountains - Silver Valley above 4,000 feet.

* WHEN...In effect from Sun 06:00 AM PST to Mon 06:00 AM PST.

* IMPACTS...The combination of dense storm snow, strong winds, and
  continued moderate to heavy rainfall saturating the upper
  snowpack is overloading buried weak snow layers. The snow line
  will likely rise to between 6,000 and 7,000 feet Sunday
  afternoon-evening. It will be very likely for backcountry
  travelers to trigger large to very large avalanches and natural
  avalanches are likely. Avalanches can break wide across terrain
  features and run long distances to lower elevations and into
  mature forests.

Consult http://www.idahopanhandleavalanche.org/ or
www.avalanche.org for more detailed information.

Similar avalanche danger may exist at locations outside the
coverage area of this or any avalanche center.
