Avalanche Summary

You may trigger an avalanche on wind-loaded northerly and east-facing slopes above treeline. The more dangerous areas are where wind transported recent snow and formed stiff slabs. You are most likely to find stiff slabs of snow on leeward slopes near ridgeline and in cross-loaded terrain features.

Safer terrain options exist at lower elevations and wind-sheltered areas.
