Avalanche forecast

Thin, shallow snow coverage and generally safe avalanche conditions exist. The few places where you might be able to trigger an avalanche are where thick wind drifts exist in gullies or along the lee sides of a ridgeline at the highest elevations above the treeline. You can identify these dangerous areas as they are likely the only slopes with continuous snow coverage and they will have a smooth, rounded, and often wave-like appearance on the snow surface or a hard, hollow feeling if you travel across it. Avoid these wind-loaded slopes to reduce your chances of triggering an avalanche.
