Fresh slabs of wind drifted snow may form as snowfall increases late this afternoon and evening, increasing avalanche dangers in the backcountry of the Sawtooth, Boulder and Smoky mountains.
Another weekend is upon us, which means more people will be heading into the backcountry. That also means those who do should use extra caution due to continued avalanche dangers.
If you’re planning a trip into the backcountry this weekend, be mindful of fresh wind slabs, which, according to the Sawtooth Avalanche Center, could cause some big problems.
