Avalanche problems
Avalanche Summary
Low danger does not mean no danger. You might trigger a small avalanche on lower-elevation slopes steeper than about 35 degrees. These areas are harboring weak, cohesionless snow that could avalanche under the weight of a backcountry traveler. Though these slides will be mostly small, they can be powerful enough to knock you over and carry you into trees and rocks. These slides can bury you if you get carried into a terrain trap such as a creek or gully. If the snowpack is unsupportive and you sink to the ground with skis or a board on, you should avoid slopes over 35 degrees.
