Avalanche Summary

On slopes with more than about six inches of wind-drifted snow, you can trigger an avalanche. These drifts could be very firm and can break well above you. Avoid steep slopes with pillow-like drifts, especially below ridgelines and in cross-loaded gullies. Winds on Monday will blow from various directions, so expect drifts in unusual places. You can find safer riding on lower-elevation slopes sheltered from the wind.
