Avalanche Summary

You might trigger an avalanche that breaks two to four feet deep on steep slopes. A layer of weak snow lurks inside the snowpack and choosing lower-angle slopes remains your best approach to avoid getting into trouble. Cracking and collapsing may not occur before a slide breaks deeply so do not get lulled into a false sense of security.

Consider your terrain choices carefully, if you were to trigger a slide on a larger slope it could grow in size quickly and have dire consequences.
