The West Central Montana Avalanche Foundation has issued a warning for dangerous avalanche conditions in the mountains of West Central Montana, including the Bitterroot, the Rattlesnake, and Seeley Lake, effective through Tuesday night. Both natural and human-triggered avalanches are very likely due to heavy snowfall on weak layers caused by a winter storm system. Shifting winds also pose a risk of triggering avalanches. To stay safe, individuals are advised to avoid avalanche terrain and the run-outs of avalanche paths, as avalanches can be triggered remotely from below, above, or to the side of steeper slopes. It is important for individuals in these areas to exercise caution and be aware of the potential dangers associated with the current avalanche conditions. The foundation emphasizes the importance of following safety protocols and staying informed about avalanche risks to prevent accidents and ensure the well-being of all individuals in the affected regions.
