Avalanche Summary

You can trigger a small avalanche in areas where you find pockets of drifted snow above weak, old snow in the alpine on north-facing terrain, particularly right at the ridgeline and along the edges of terrain features like gullies.

These avalanches are small, isolated, and easy to avoid, but you could be knocked off your feet and carried through rocks.
