Avalanche danger will be high this winter after big wildfires.

Idaho Fires lead to higher avalanche danger. KTVB 7.

Much of the vast area burned is steep and turns into avalanche country when the trees are removed, even partially. The same will be true in parts of Montana where there were many fires.

Right now snow pack is generally low.

Avalanche center current reports.

  1. Thanks for the information. I live in Cache Valley (SE Idaho) where this season was light in respect to fires.

    BTW, the Utah Avalanche Center is also a good reference.

  2. I should have read more about you on your blog. I can see you are very familiar with Cache Valley.

    Thanks again.
