Avalanche Summary

Riders are triggering large, dangerous avalanches from a distance in this area. Stay off and out from under slopes steeper than about 30 degrees. You can trigger avalanches on most aspects and elevations, so be very careful before crossing under steep terrain.

You will find safer riding in below treeline wind-sheltered areas.
