Avalanche Summary
You can trigger an avalanche on steep slopes that face northerly and easterly directions. You might be able to travel on a slope multiple times before triggering an avalanche so keep in mind that tracks on a slope don't mean it is safe. If you choose to travel on steep slopes on aspects of concern, expose one person at a time and choose slopes with no terrain traps such as a creek, a cliff, or a gully at the bottom of the slope. You can find safer travel options on south, southwest, and west-facing slopes or by sticking to slopes generally less than about 30 degrees steep.
