Avalanche Summary

You can expect generally safe avalanche conditions. You are unlikely to trigger a large or dangerous avalanche, but it's not impossible. Minimize your exposure above consequential terrain like cliffs or gullies where a small avalanche might cause you harm. If you find a steep slope covered in smooth, hard, previously wind-drifted snow, go around it. If you find exceptionally weak, cohesionless snow on continuously steep slopes, stick to ridges and higher terrain features to avoid getting swept up by a loose avalanche.
