Avalanche Summary
It has been sometime since the last report of avalanche activity in this area. If you were to trigger an avalanche it would be on a steep open slope and triggered from a shallow area where weak buried layers are under a meter deep. Likely trigger points exist near rock outcroppings, on steep rollovers, and below ridges and cliff bands.
You can find safer riding options at lower elevations, and slopes less than about 35 degrees sheltered from the wind without steep overhead hazards.
