Avalanche Summary

You could trigger an avalanche where cohesive slabs of snow sit over weaker snow on slopes steeper than about 35 degrees. The most dangerous slopes are open and face northwest through north to east. Avoid common trigger points, such as convex rollovers, rocky outcrops, or the edges of slopes where the margins of a slab are the thinnest.
