Avalanche Summary

You can easily trigger avalanches on steep northerly and easterly-facing slopes where you find around a foot or more of newly fallen or newly drifted snow. Avalanches will be deeper and easier to trigger on slopes where southwest winds early in the storm drifted the new snow. Keep in mind the potential to trigger from a distance. Seek out southerly-facing slopes that held well-developed, supportive crusts prior to the storm to enjoy the new snow.
