Avalanche Summary

Look for and avoid smooth pillows of wind-drifted snow that may crack beneath your feet. These will be most dangerous in shaded areas that held cold snow from last week's storm. Along gully walls, around rock buttresses, and beneath ridgelines are features you are more likely to encounter this issue. You can find safer riding in areas sheltered from the wind.
