Avalanche Summary

If you find an area of shallow snow, you might trigger a deep avalanche that breaks near the ground. The slide might release on a steep, northerly or easterly-facing slope above you or some distance away. A large trigger, like a snowmobile's track cutting through the snowpack or a falling cornice, could trigger one too. Look for safer options on southerly or westerly-facing terrain
