Avalanche Summary

Avalanches that break deeper in the snowpack are becoming harder to trigger, but the consequences will be hard to survive. Common trigger points around rocky areas, the margins of a slope, or steep rollovers are places you should try to avoid. You can trigger the entire slope from one of these areas or from a distance away. To help further reduce your risk, keep your terrain selections conservative and stick to lower-angle slopes.
