Avalanche Summary

You can trigger avalanches on northerly and east-facing slopes near and above treeline where you find more than about two feet of snow. In deeper or previously wind-drifted features where you might find up to three feet of snow, some of these avalanches can grow large enough to bury you. You can find safer riding at lower elevations, in wind-sheltered areas with less snow depth, and in areas that don't face northerly or east.
