Avalanche Summary

You can easily trigger an avalanche on most steep slopes, and natural avalanches may release. High-elevation alpine slopes where winds drift snow into stiffer slabs will be the most dangerous. Any steep slope with more than about 12 inches of new snow will be dangerous. You can find safer travel on slopes less than about 30 degrees or those with less snow.
