Missoula Mount Jumbo Avalanche Assessment Shared 'Please Stay Off The Mountain'

Press release from the City of Missoula:

February 19, 2021

Avalanche specialists from the West Central Montana Avalanche Center are working with the Missoula Fire Department to keep tabs on avalanche danger following the recent snowfalls. The recipe for an avalanche is present in the potential start zones, and we encourage the public to observe the public closures on the mountain to reduce the chance of a human-triggered slide.

Most of Mount Jumbo is closed to public use during the winter.

To check local avalanche conditions, see the Center's website at https://missoulaavalanche.org .
