Avalanche Summary
Slopes with recently drifted snow are the most hazardous. Avalanches in recently drifted snow can step down to the ground and grow even larger. You will find these areas below ridgelines and along gullies. Shallow slopes with exposed rocks and trees are the most likely place to find a weak area and trigger a deeper avalanche. You will not get any warning signs, and multiple people could ride a slope before you find a weak area. You can find safer riding on slopes protected from the wind, slopes less than about 30 degrees, and below treeline.
