Avalanche Summary

You will find small and easy-to-trigger avalanches where winds layered recent snow over older snow. You can find these problematic spots below ridgelines, in gullies, and on most slopes with enough snow to look like enticing riding. Those spots will look filled-in, rounded, or like a pillow. You may see signs of instability like cracking or collapsing. The easiest way to avoid avalanches is to stick to slopes that did not have snow coverage before this storm.
