Avalanche Summary

You can easily trigger an avalanche in the new snow, especially at upper elevations. Expect deeper and more dangerous avalanches in open terrain features where shifting winds build dense drifts below corniced ridgelines and in gullies. Avoid slopes steeper than about 35 degrees where you find more than about a foot of freshly deposited snow.
