Avalanche Summary

You can expect generally safe avalanche conditions on most steep slopes. Many of these avalanched a week ago and now are not dangerous. You can recognize these by the crown face near the top, or the lumpy debris piled below a slope.

If you can find a steep slope that did not avalanche most will hold three to five feet of fairly consolidated snow. If you venture into extreme terrain track the snowpack depth to avoid an unlucky surprise. Steer around very steep or cliffy terrain features with an intact snowpack (meaning it did not avalanche last week) that is shallower-than-average (around two feet deep).
