Avalanche Summary
You can trigger an avalanche where you find newly drifted snow below ridgelines and along gully walls. Avoid rounded pillows of firm snow that may crack when weighted. If you experience cracking head to lower-angled slopes or those without wind-loading.
A surface avalanche could step down to deeper weak layers in areas where you find old hard slabs or in shallow weak snow.
