Avalanche Summary

You can trigger a small avalanche where you find more than about six inches of new or wind-drifted snow. Look for and avoid textured snow that feels firm under you or cracks beneath your weight. Northerly and east-facing slopes that held snow previous to the weekend's storm will be the most dangerous. Safer riding conditions will be low-angled slopes or those sheltered from the wind.
