Avalanche Summary

As the day progresses, strong winds and heavy snow will increase the avalanche danger. Look for and avoid rounded pillows of firm snow found along gully walls, below ridgelines, and terrain breaks. If you find stiff snow that cracks beneath you, avoid steep slopes or find terrain without a slab. A small slide early in the season can be particularly nasty with lots of exposed rocks and downed trees to get raked through.
