Avalanche Summary

You can trigger a wet avalanche on most steep slopes that have snow. On larger, sustained steep slopes, these could grow large enough to bury you. If you are planning on traveling in avalanche terrain, be aware that with no overnight freeze on Wednesday night, it may not matter how early you start; you are likely to encounter cohesionless, wet snow on any steep slope. Avoid traveling on slope much steeper than about 35 degrees that could produce an avalanche large enough to bury you.
