Avalanche Summary

The snowpack in this area is weak, and if you find a slab of firm snow, you could trigger an avalanche that breaks 1 to 2 feet deep. Avalanches could also step down to the ground. Avoiding areas where winds have drifted snow onto northerly and easterly aspects is a good way to reduce your hazard. Multiple people could ride a slope before you trigger a slide, and you could trigger one from a distance or below. Lower-angled slopes offer safer riding.
