Avalanche Summary

Be cautious on slopes with more than about six inches of new or wind-drifted snow. Look for and avoid firm, rounded pillows of snow that crack beneath your weight. These are most likely found close to ridge crests and in gully features. The slopes that had snow before this storm will be the most dangerous. You can find safer riding on lower-angled slopes or those sheltered from the wind.
