Avalanche Safety & Awareness

The Sawtooth Avalanche Center wants to remind residents and visitors to the Wood River Valley and the local mountains and roads that as winter whips between its many moods, avalanche risk changes with it. Annie DeAngelo, the Education Coordinator for the Friends of the Sawtooth Avalanche Center, has collaborated with one of the forecasters to create an avalanche awareness video that focuses on avalanche interactions specifically that happen in residential and commercial spaces in the WRV (think avalanches impacting homes, roads, maintenance workers clearing roofs, etc.). They have prepared versions in both English and Spanish so please take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with avalanche dangers is Bellevue and the surrounding areas.
