Avalanche conditions are dangerous in the Flat Tops. You can trigger an avalanche anywhere you find more than about 8 inches of recent snow. Avalanches can be triggered from the flats below steep slopes and lower-angle slopes attached to steeper ones. The most dangerous conditions are on slopes directly below ridgetop, where recent winds have deposited drifted snow into thicker slabs. Avoid steep slopes with thick wind drifts, and especially if you experience deep shooting cracks or sounds of collapsing.
