Avalanche Summary

You can trigger dangerous avalanches on most slopes near or above treeline. Avalanches will be largest, and you could trigger them from a distance, on northerly-facings slopes that had snow cover before this storm. There is now enough storm snow that avalanches are likely on previously bare slopes, too. Shooting cracks, whumpfing collapses, or tiny avalanches on cut banks are indications of dangerous snow conditions.
