Avalanche Summary

Very dangerous avalanche conditions exist. You can easily trigger a large and deadly avalanche on most slopes steeper than around 30 degrees. The most dangerous slopes are near treeline, especially on wind-loaded slopes where the snow surface appears smooth and wavy. Avoid traveling on or underneath slopes steeper than around 30 degrees.
