Winter Storm Warnings

February 20 2026

Residents in Idaho, particularly those in the Bear River Range and surrounding mountains, are advised to exercise extreme caution due to a significant avalanche advisory in effect through early Monday morning. The Forest Service Utah Avalanche Center warns of dangerous avalanche conditions following this week's heavy snowfall and strong winds which have overloaded preexisting weak layers in the snowpack. Outdoor enthusiasts should avoid backcountry travel in these areas over the weekend as the risk of avalanche accidents is high, evidenced by two recent fatalities and multiple incidents. Stay vigilant and prioritize safety by adhering to all advisories.
