Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche where winds drifted snow onto easterly and northerly slopes. These slabs may be hard to identify as low-density new snow may disguise the usual rounded pillowy texture. You will likely find unstable snow below corniced ridgelines and along gully walls. If you feel firm, hollow snow that cracks or collapses, you should head to lower-angled or wind-sheltered slopes.

Be careful on steep slopes with continuous snow coverage where you find more than about eight inches of fresh snow. You could trigger a small loose avalanche that could be dangerous if you are above a cliff or creek.
