The Owyhee Avalanche is a weekly newspaper in Homedale, Idaho, United States. It was the first paper in the Idaho Territory to publish daily, to have telegraphic service and to print on a steam-powered press. Over a century, the paper has had numerous owners changed the name and relocated to different towns in Owyhee County. The Avalanche has been relaunched at least six times and is descended from or has absorbed other papers including the Tidal Wave, the Nugget, the Leader and the Chronicle.
