Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche on steep slopes with wind-drifted snow at upper elevations. The most likely areas where you will find snow drifts are below ridges or in gullies. Slopes that face north through east to southeast are the most dangerous. If you see shooting cracks or hear collapses, choose wind-sheltered slopes or slopes less than about 35 degrees in steepness.
