Avalanche Summary

You can trigger small avalanches in drifted snow at upper elevations. Watch for shooting cracks, drummy-sounding snow, and an upper snowpack that feels harder than sheltered areas as indications of these drifted slabs of snow. Avalanches that you trigger will be generally small but they can be dangerous if you are taken over rocks or snow piles up deeply in a gully.
