Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche on steep slopes facing northwest to north through east. Winds drifted snow over weaker layers near and above treeline. The most dangerous areas will be on steep slopes below ridgelines and in gullies where early-season snow stuck around and turned into sugar-like facets. Shooting cracks or audible collapsing are signs you should stick to lower-angle slopes or wind-sheltered terrain.
