Avalanche Summary

You can trigger avalanches in the freshly wind-drifted snow in near and above treeline areas. In some spots, these avalanches may gouge into weak, unconsolidated snow. Look for small recent avalanches, cracking in the new snow, and signs of wind loading, such as smooth pillows of snow or small cornices below ridgelines to indicate potential danger. If you experience any of these warning signs, stick to slopes with a slope angle less than about 30 degrees.
