Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche that breaks in the upper snowpack, two to three feet deep. The most dangerous terrain faces northwest through northeast to east, especially slopes with a relatively thinner snowpack where you can more easily impact the buried weak layer. If you choose to travel on steep northerly or easterly slopes, make sure that there are no terrain traps below you.
