Avalanche Summary
You can trigger an avalanche where recently drifted snow forms dense and cohesive slabs below ridgelines or convex rollovers and inside gully features. The most dangerous slopes face northerly and easterly, but strong winds have drifted snow into unusual places over the past week. Keep your eyes out for drifted snow at lower elevations and in cross-loaded features that face any direction. Recent avalanche activity and cracking within the new snow are clues to move to wind-sheltered low-angle slopes for safer travel.
