Avalanche Summary
The most dangerous slopes for triggering avalanches are steeper than about 30 degrees, with around 10 inches of new or drifted snow. You can trigger large avalanches in the new snow, and some slides could step down, triggering a larger and more dangerous slide. Easterly aspects are the most suspect for avalanches breaking deeper in the snowpack. Avoid steep, rocky, southerly slopes as the snow heats up during the day. Make conservative terrain choices and place extra room between you and steeper slopes.
