Steamboat & Flat Tops

Snow on Sunday and Monday falls onto weak snow left from October. You can trigger an avalanche where you find recently drifted snow resting on this weak base, especially in areas that held continuous coverage of old weak snow. You are most likely to find this combination at upper elevations on northerly and east-facing slopes, just below ridgelines or in gully features. Avoid these slopes to reduce your chances of triggering a small but potentially dangerous avalanche.
