Avalanche Summary
Although unlikely, there is still a small chance you might trigger an avalanche in certain areas. One area would be a steep wind-drifted above treeline slope with a smooth, wave-like appearance on the snow surface. Another would be below treeline slopes steeper than about 35 degrees, where you find weak, cohesionless surface snow. Avoid these slopes if they end in terrain traps, such as a cliff or a creek. Even a small slide can have severe consequences if you are pushed through rocks or buried in a terrain trap.
