Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are generally safe. Although it is unlikely, there is still a small chance you could trigger an avalanche. The few areas you should try to avoid are steep, wind-loaded slopes such as the lee side of a ridge, typically above 12,000 feet on northeast and east aspects, where the snow surface looks rounded and wave-like.
