avalanche warning
Mountain slide forecast
An avalanche warning is an official alert issued by authorities when conditions make avalanches likely in a given area.
The warning typically advises people to avoid backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, or other activities in avalanche-prone terrain: The forest service issued an avalanche warning for the northern peaks.
Less urgent than a warning is an avalanche watch, which indicates conditions are developing.
