Avalanche Summary
Generally safe avalanche conditions exist. Although unlikely, there is a small chance you might trigger an avalanche in certain areas. If you come across a steep wind-loaded slope with a smooth, wave-like appearance on the snow surface, typically above 12,000 feet, consider traveling around it. If you find weak, cohesionless snow in continuously steep terrain, avoid slopes with terrain traps such as a cliff or a creek below you. Continue to practice safe travel and carry essential rescue equipment.
