Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche on steep slopes with wind-drifted snow near and above treeline. Slopes that face north through east to southeast are the most dangerous, especially just below ridgelines and cross-loaded gullies. Slopes that are sheltered from the wind or less than about 35 degrees are safer choices if you see shooting cracks, feel collapses or hear whumpfing in the snowpack
