Avalanche Summary

Strong winds will drift snow into slabs at upper elevations. You can trigger an avalanche that breaks in the wind-drifted snow on northerly and easterly-facing slopes. Avoid drifted pillows on steep slopes just below ridgelines and in gully features. Especially where they are firm or hollow-sounding, or they crack under your weight.
