Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are free from avalanche hazards simply do to lack of snow. If you were to trigger a small avalanche, it would be on a drifted slope where a hard layer of snow sits over softer old snow below. Northerly and easterly slopes at upper elevations is the most probable areas to find this slab over weak-layer combination. Avoid stiff, hollow surfaces, especially on slopes steeper than 35 degrees.
