Avalanche Summary

Steep wind-drifted slopes are the most concerning and likely places to trigger an avalanche. Use extra caution or avoid traveling on slopes over 35 degrees if you find more than a foot of new or drifted snow. Shooting cracks or rumbling collapses are clear signs of this hazard. Lower-angle wind-sheltered slopes are safer options.
