Avalanche Summary

You may be able to trigger an avalanche on upper-elevation north and northeast-facing slopes. Unfortunately, the best slopes to ride are also where you are most likely to trigger an avalanche. Be cautious in areas with continuous snow cover, especially in gullies, couloirs, and concave features. Look out for areas of drifted or dense snow resting over weak snow near the ground. Small avalanches can take you for a dangerous ride if you are carried over exposed rocks.
