This is a good time to give the mountains a healthy dose of respect. Several natural and skier-triggered avalanches occurred Tuesday near Galena Summit. Avalanche conditions will remain dangerous and complex through Friday. Hot, sunny weather Wednesday will produce widespread natural avalanche activity. Large human-triggered avalanches are likely. Thursday, even warmer weather and possible rain at 10,000' in elevation will continue the threat of natural and human-triggered avalanches. Be careful, and minimize the time you spend on or below large steep slopes. Visit www.sawtoothavalanche.com to view this morning's updated General Avalanche Information product.
