Generally safe avalanche conditions prevail due to this season's shallow, variable snowpack. But, even with "generally safe conditions," an avalanche could still be triggered on isolated slopes or in extreme terrain. It's always a good idea to assess each individual slope you plan to ride and identify any hazards before committing to consequential terrain.
