Avalanche Summary

Wind-drifted slopes and steep terrain features over 35 degrees with over a foot of recently settled snow are the most concerning and likely places to trigger an avalanche. Use extra caution or avoid these slopes, especially if you see signs of instability like cracking or rumbling collapses. Lower-angle, wind-sheltered terrain will provide safer riding options.
