Sawatch

You could trigger an avalanche where you find wind-drifted snow near and above treeline. These avalanches could break in a weak layer in the middle or the bottom of the snowpack. You may also trigger these avalanches from a distance or below, so give yourself plenty of space around steep slopes. Avoid slopes with hollow-feeling snow or wind-textured snow.

Safer travel can be found on low-angle slopes or slopes sheltered from the winds at lower elevations. Loose avalanches could be an issue in the upcoming days as the snowpack loses strength and cohesion.
