Avalanche problems
Avalanche Summary
On northerly and easterly-facing slopes, you could trigger an avalanche. The most problematic slopes hold drifted snow below ridgelines, convex rollovers, or cross-loaded gullies. These drifts will look like smooth-rounded pillows or waves and might sound hollow underneath you. You might also encounter these slopes farther down the slope than anticipated. Several tracks could be on a slope, or there could be no signs of unstable snow like cracking or collapsing before triggering an avalanche in a more deeply buried weak layer. Look for safer riding in wind-sheltered slopes or slopes less than 30 degrees.
