Avalanche Forecast By Zone
The Bottom Line
Although becoming less likely, it remains possible to trigger a persistent slab avalanche 1-2 feet deep. You’re most likely to find these persistent slabs on shaded, protected slopes facing east through northwest, above 6500′. Approach these slopes with caution and adhere to good travel protocols, such as traveling one at a time after evaluating the snowpack. Small, dry-loose avalanches or snow sluffs are possible in steep or extreme terrain.
News
The Payette Avalanche Center is now on the Avy App! Here you can find information similar to what you would find on our website including avalanche forecasts, weather forecasts, weather station data, and observations. You’ll find consolidated forecast views that aggregate all the information in one zone to minimize time spent looking for information. You will also find optimized weather tables and data that were specifically designed for mobile devices and easy viewing. Another benefit of this app is the ability to look at avalanche forecasts offline (view it once while connected first). In addition, you can now submit observations straight from the field. The app will cache your observation and automatically submit it whenever you reach service.
Submitting observations has never been easier!
