AVWMSO The following message is transmitted at the request of West Central Montana Avalanche Center Missoula MT. ...AVALANCHE WARNING ISSUED BY THE WEST CENTRAL MONTANA AVALANCHE CENTER... 07:30 MST Wed Feb 25 2026 The West Central Montana Avalanche Center in Missoula has issued a BACKCOUNTRY AVALANCHE WARNING for the following areas: NWS Missoula MT - MTZ043 (MTZ043) * WHAT...Several feet of new snow, coupled with strong ridgetop winds, have created dangerous avalanche conditions. This new snow will likely overload buried weak layers and lead to large natural avalanches. Travel in and below avalanche terrain is not recommended. * WHERE...The Seeley Lake mountains above 5500'. * WHEN...In effect from Wed 07:30 MST to Thu 04:00 MST. * IMPACTS...Natural and human-triggered avalanches are likely. Avalanches will release on weak layers buried two to four feet deep. It will be possible to remotely trigger avalanches from below, above, or to the side of steeper slopes. Avalanches may connect across terrain features, creating large and destructive avalanches. * PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...Dangerous avalanche conditions exist. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended. Avoid travel underneath steep slopes. Even small slopes like roadcuts and gullies have potential to deposit enough debris to bury or injure a person.
