Avalanche Summary

You can trigger avalanches in wind-drifted snow in above treeline areas. The most dangerous slopes face north through east to southeast. Recent winds drifted new snow into small slabs in these spots. Look for and avoid areas where you see signs of recent wind-drifting, such as pillows of snow, fresh cornice growth, or cracking in the freshly wind-drifted snow. You can find safer travel conditions in lower elevation and wind-sheltered spots.
