Avalanche Summary

Steep, wind-drifted slopes facing north through east at higher elevations are potential places to trigger an avalanche. By avoiding areas below ridges or cross-loaded gullies where you find stiffer, smooth-looking snow, you will lessen your risk. Seek out softer snow in sheltered slopes as a safer option.
