Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche anywhere you find more than about ten inches of snow at all elevations. Even a small avalanche could become deadly if you get carried over a cliff, through trees, or into a depression. If you see recent avalanches, shooting cracks, or feel collapses within the new snow, it is time to move to slopes less than about 30 degrees.
