Avalanche Summary

You are most likely to trigger an avalanche on a northeast, east, or southeast-facing slope that was recently drifted. Over the last week, we saw several large natural avalanches on these slopes. Although natural avalanches are unlikely, you can still trigger an avalanche from a thin, rocky area. Be careful on large, steep open slopes directly below ridgetop and consider sticking to more sheltered terrain. Avalanches in drifted snow can grow large as they gouge into older snow layers.
