Sign-up for Gunfighter Snow

Winters at Mountain Home Air Force Base can be dangerous, and the highway between Boise and Mountain Home is one of the most dangerous in America.

Gunfighters are encouraged to sign up for weather alerts and base announcements by subscribing to Gunfighter Snow, a 'Twitter'-based weather alert system managed by the 366th Fighter Wing Public Affairs.

Announcements are sent directly to your mobile device when weather and base operating notifications are made.

Follow these instructions to sign up:

1.) Text "Follow @gunfightersnow" to 40404 (be sure to include the space.)

2.) Wait for a confirmation text. You will likely also get the most recent update from the Twitter feed at this time, which may be months old. Please disregard.

3.) Text "set discovery off" to 40404 to avoid unwanted texts and spam messages.

To stop receiving text message alerts, text "Unfollow @gunfightersnow" or "Off @gunfightersnow" to 40404.
