Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are generally safe, but you might still find isolated areas of unstable snow.

Look out for steep, sunny slopes if the snow is getting wet. Rollerballs or fan-like point releases on the surface are signs the snow is getting wet. Watch out for bulbous or lens-shaped pillows of snow in very steep or extreme terrain, especially if they're resting on thin weak snow near the ground.

Pay attention to the consequences of getting carried by an avalanche. Remember, even a small avalanche in consequential terrain could take you for a nasty ride over rocks or into trees.
