Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche on slopes facing northwest to north through east. The most dangerous areas are steep slopes just below ridgelines and in gully features where old-weak snow got buried from last weekend’s storm. Shooting cracks or audible collapsing are signs of unstable snow. Be careful in areas where you find more than about six inches of new or wind-drifted snow on other aspects. If you observe these signs, you should move to slopes less than about 30 degrees.
