Avalanche Summary

Be careful where you find more than about eight inches of new or wind-drifted snow. You are most likely to find these deeper deposits below ridgelines, cornices, and along gullies. Strong winds mean these drifts could be in unusual areas. Even shallow slides can take you for a nasty ride down a couloir or over a cliff. Watch for and avoid rounded pillows, etched surfaces, or brittle snow that cracks around you.
