Avalanche Summary

You can reduce your risk of avalanches by avoiding slopes with shallow or uneven snow cover. Rocky convex rollovers, slopes that avalanched earlier this season, or typically wind-scoured slopes are all places where you can trigger a large avalanche. Avoid areas with a thinner than normal snowpack, especially thin spots adjacent to recently wind-drifted slopes.
