Avalanche Summary

Dangerous and unusual avalanche conditions exist. You can easily trigger an avalanche large enough to bury you on the north half of the mountain. Reactive slabs sitting on super weak snow can fail from a distance away, so be aware of steep slopes above you and other parties nearby. To help stay safe, stick to low-angle slopes or seek out sunnier south-facing slopes where slab avalanches are less prevalent.
