Avalanche warning and rain/snow
A backcountry AVALANCHE WARNING is in effect for our Galena Summit & Eastern Mtns and Soldier & Wood River Valley Mtns Zones. Very dangerous avalanche conditions exist and will worsen later today and tonight.
Large, natural and human-triggered avalanches will become near certain as heavy snowfall and wind overload a weak, unstable snowpack.

Stay off of and out from below steep slopes—slopes steeper than about 30 degrees. https://www.sawtoothavalanche.com/ for forecasts and up-to-date information, please check before backcountry recreation or travel.
