Avalanche Summary

Recent wind loading and a complex snowpack make it challenging to lower the danger. Avalanches are becoming harder to trigger, and warning signs like cracking and collapsing are decreasing, but the consequences remain severe. Stick to lower-angle slopes in wind-protected areas to reduce your chances of being buried in an avalanche and give steep open slopes a wide berth.
