Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are battered by the wind and either lack enough continuous snow for larger avalanches, or the slabs are so hard that you won't be able to impact the weak layers beneath. You may still find remnant cracking and collapsing on steep slopes near and below treeline. Even though the danger is LOW (level 1 of 5), this is still an indication of a weak snowpack and a reminder to be careful around steep slopes in similar areas.
