Fremont County Emergency Management
The mountains near West Yellowstone, southern Madison and southern Gallatin Range are in the direct path of the incoming storm.Snowfall is expected this morning and will continue into Wednesday.
Avalanche danger will begin to increase today, especially on wind loaded slopes where continued strong winds will blow snow into thick drifts.
Yesterday Dave and his partner rode into Lionhead Ridge and had a thick drift collapse and “whumph” beneath their skis (video).
Skiers in the Taylor Fork sent this photo of a thick wind drift that broke on a small slope.
Drifts of snow that formed from recent southerly winds overloaded weak layers and made the snowpack unstable.
These drifts will continue to grow and become more unstable with new snow and strong wind today, and it will become likely for riders and skiers to trigger these drifts and cause avalanches on steep slopes.
Be prepared to avoid steep, wind-loaded slopes today as they become more unstable.
