Avalanche Summary

You can trigger mostly small avalanches on previously wind-drifted slopes. The most concerning slopes face north, northeast, and east at higher elevations.

If you experience any cracking or collapsing underneath you, then steer clear of slopes steeper than about 30 degrees. You can find safer terrain at lower elevations, in wind-sheltered locations, and on southerly and westerly-facing slopes where any recent snow fell onto bare ground.
