Avalanche Summary

You could trigger an avalanche on steep slopes above treeline where you find more than about 8 inches of recent storm snow. The most dangerous slopes are where new snow has settled into a cohesive slab. Cracking and collapsing in the new storm snow is evidence that a slab has formed and a good indicator to move to lower-angle slopes.
