Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are safe from avalanches. The few places you need to use a dose of caution are on steep, northerly-facing terrain where lingering slabs of stiffer snow rest above weak snow layers near the ground. Wind-drifted features below open ridgelines or steep rollovers are prime places to find this problem. Lower-angle, wind-sheltered slopes are better alternatives.
