Avalanche Summary

You could trigger an avalanche on north through east-facing slopes at upper elevations. Look for and avoid slopes with rounded lens-like pillows of snow or a textured snow surface that feels hollow underneath you. You will find these areas directly below ridgelines, on the sides of gullies, or on convex rollovers. You may not see any warning signs of unstable snow, like cracking or collapsing, before the slope shatters around you. Wind-sheltered slopes offer safer recreation options.
