Avalanche Summary

You can trigger avalanches that break near the ground on northerly and east-facing slopes at upper elevations. You are most likely to trigger avalanches on slopes that sit directly below ridgetop with recently drifted snow.

You can find generally safer avalanche conditions on southerly slopes without recent wind loading.
