Avalanche Summary

There is a chance of wet avalanches in very steep and rocky terrain. Avoid steep, sunbaked slopes if the snow becomes unsupportable or if you observe rollerballs in the surface snow.

Look for and avoid drifted pillows of firm snow in steep terrain at upper elevations, especially above terrain traps.

Sticking to areas sheltered from the wind with soft, dry snow is a good way to reduce your hazard.
