Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are generally safe from avalanches. If you were to trigger a slide, it would be in wind-drifted snow above-treeline on a north through east to southeast facing slope. To avoid this, steer clear of areas where you see signs of recent wind-drifting, such as pillows of snow, fresh cornice growth, or cracking in the freshly wind-drifted snow. You can find safer travel conditions in lower elevation and wind-sheltered spots.
