Avalanche Summary

Generally safe avalanche conditions exist. The few places you might be able to trigger a dangerous avalanche are on some steep slopes facing north, northeast, and east on dense slabs of wind-drifted snow. To reduce your chances of being caught in one of these avalanches identify and avoid steep, wind-drifted slopes that face these directions at upper elevations.
