BULLETIN - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Backcountry Avalanche Warning
West Central Montana Avalanche Center Missoula MT
Relayed by National Weather Service Missoula MT
824 AM MST Wed Feb 25 2026
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.
Consult https://missoulaavalanche.org/ or www.avalanche.org for more
detailed information.
Similar avalanche danger may exist at locations outside the coverage area of
this or any avalanche center.
