Avalanche Summary

You can trigger avalanches on steep slopes where you find about a foot of recent snow. Most likely, those will be slopes with wind-drifted snow that face northeast, east, and southeast at upper elevations. Safer travel options exist on wind-sheltered slopes below treeline or by avoiding travel on or directly under steep slopes with drifted snow.
