Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are free of avalanche danger. If you were to trigger an avalanche, it would be in a small pocket of drifted snow that cracks under your weight or on a slope steeper than about 35 degrees, where you find loose cohesionless snow at the surface. The best and safest travel conditions are on lower-angle slopes, protected from the wind. Prepare for rapidly increasing avalanche danger through the rest of the week.
