Avalanche Summary

Where you find steep snow-covered slopes at upper elevations, you can trigger a large avalanche. On north and northeast-facing terrain, you might trigger a dry slab avalanche.

On other slopes, the avalanche is likely to be wet. Travel earlier in the day to decrease your chances of triggering a wet avalanche. Avoid steep slopes where you sink past your ankles in wet snow.
