Avalanche Summary

You can trigger avalanches on steep slopes where you find wind-drifted snow. The drifted areas are mostly on slopes that face northeast, east, and southeast at upper elevations. Safer travel options include wind-sheltered slopes below treeline or avoiding travel on or directly under steep slopes with drifted snow.
