Avalanche Summary

You could trigger an avalanche above treeline that can break wide across the slope. Most triggered avalanches will be small but could still knock you over and take you for a rocky, dangerous ride. Reduce your risk of triggering a slide by avoiding north, northeast, and east-facing slopes near and above treeline.
