KETCHUM, Idaho — For the second time in three days, an avalanche blocked part of Warm Springs Road in Ketchum, the Blaine County Sheriff's Office said Friday morning.
The slide was near Lewis Street. The sheriff's office said at 3 p.m. Friday that the road is reopened after the avalanche was cleared.
Friday's avalanche closed Warm Springs Road from the Tar Paper Shack west. The avalanche comes two days after a slide that shut down Warm Springs Road between Jane Lane and Gates Road on Wednesday. The blockage was cleared and the road reopened Thursday night.
The Sawtooth Avalanche Center lists avalanche danger in the area as "considerable," the third level on the five-level avalanche danger scale. The center also reports that skiers northeast of Hailey remotely triggered a large avalanche on Thursday.
