Avalanche Summary

You can find dangerous slopes in or around steep wind-drifted terrain. Move lower down the mountain into wind-sheltered areas to find safer conditions. Most avalanche that you might trigger will break 1 to 2 feet deep involving the most recently dirfted snow. On larger slopes with a deeper, well-connected snowpack, consider the potential of an avalanche breaking deeper, near the ground.
