Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are safe from avalanches. The few slopes where you might still be able to trigger an avalanche are steep, wind-drifted slopes facing north, northeast, and east. Identify and avoid wind-drifted, steep slopes, most likely to be found just below a ridgeline or a rock outcrop or along the edges of a gully.
