Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche on many slopes facing northwest through north to east. You can trigger them from long distances away, so be careful of steep slopes above you. You can reduce your chances of being caught in a dangerous avalanche by avoiding large, steep slopes facing these directions of concern. Safer travel options exist on low-angle terrain and on south-facing slopes in the morning before the sun melts the snow surface, and you see small loose avalanches in the wet snow.
