Avalanche problems
Avalanche Summary
Strong westerly winds will drift new snow above treeline. Avoid stiff, smooth drifts on steep slopes below corniced ridgelines and in cross-loaded alpine gullies. Avalanches will be small, but they could become dangerous in consistently steep or cliffy terrain. Choose wind-sheltered or wind-scoured terrain to avoid the problem.
