Avalanche Summary

Today, you can easily trigger an avalanche on slopes facing northwest through north to east, near and above treeline. These avalanches can be triggered from below a slope or a distance away. As signs such as cracking or collapsing decrease, continue to give these slopes a wide buffer. Look for safer riding options on southerly-facing or wind-sheltered slopes less than 30 degrees steep with no steep terrain above.
