Avalanche Summary
The current early season conditions are more dangerous than you might expect for November. You can trigger a large and dangerous avalanche that breaks on weak snow near the ground. You might trigger them from below a slope or from a distance. Avoid travel on or underneath steep slopes that face northwest through north to southeast, especially near and above the treeline. Find safer avalanche conditions on south, southwest, and west-facing slopes, or choose slopes less steep than about 30 degrees without steep terrain overhead.
