Steamboat & Flat Tops

While generally safe avalanche conditions exist. There are some isolated areas where you can trigger an avalanche. Look out for and avoid places where the wind drifted snow into cohesive slabs that rest on weak October snow. You are most likely to find these areas in the Park Range at high elevations on northerly and east-facing slopes, especially just below ridgelines or in a gully. Identify and avoid these slopes to reduce your chances of triggering a small but potentially dangerous avalanche.
