Avalanche problems
Avalanche Summary
The most dangerous slopes are below the treeline, where the snowpack is about half and half weak snow and slab. You could trigger slides in weak areas close to trees and rocks and on convex rolls. You can reduce your chances of triggering an avalanche by choosing planar slopes and low-angle slopes. At higher elevations, weak layers are buried deeply. Check for a deep, consistent snowpack below you in these areas, and watch for small pockets of wind-drifted snow in consequential terrain.
