Avalanche Summary
You can trigger a deadly avalanche on any slope with a buried weak layer. The most dangerous slopes face northwest through east to southeast. You are unlikely to get any warning signs like cracking and collapsing before you trigger a deadly slide. You could trigger an avalanche from below. On slopes without a buried weak layer, be cautious when you find more than 8 inches of new or wind-drifted snow that may crack beneath you. Safer travel can be found on slopes less than 30 degrees steep without more extensive terrain connected and on wind-sheltered lower-elevation slopes.
