Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are very dangerous. You can easily trigger an avalanche large enough to bury you on any slope that had continuous snow coverage prior to Monday night's storm. You can trigger slides from a distance or below steep slopes. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended. Give yourself plenty of distance below steep slopes, too.
