Avalanche Summary
The few slopes where you can still trigger a dangerous avalanche are on northwest through north to east-facing slopes at upper elevations, generally near and above treeline. You can trigger these slopes from a distance, so be aware of steep slopes above you and where you stop to regroup or rest. You also might be able to travel on a slope multiple times before you trigger an avalanche, so don't think tracks on a slope mean it is safe. Identify and avoid large, unsupported slopes that face these aspects of concern.
