Avalanche Summary

The most dangerous slopes are where winds have drifted snow into thick slabs. These slopes face north through east to southeast. Pay attention to harder-feeling slabs of snow and avoid steep slopes where you find these conditions. You can find safer riding at lower elevations and in wind-sheltered spots.
