Avalanche Summary
You can easily trigger a dangerous avalanche near and above treeline on slopes facing northwest through north to east. These avalanches can be triggered from below a slope or a distance away. As signs such as cracking or collapsing decrease, continue to give these slopes a wide buffer. You can find safer riding options on southerly-facing or wind-sheltered slopes less than 30 degrees steep with no steep terrain above.
