Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche on west to north through southeast-facing slopes where you find a cohesive slab resting on weak snow near the ground. Slopes with wind-drifted snow are the most dangerous and where you can trigger the largest avalanches. You may not see any signs of instability before you trigger an avalanche. Low-angle and wind-sheltered slopes are safer options.
