Avalanche Summary

Many slopes facing northwest through north to east still harbor reactive layers that can catch you by surprise. You can trigger them by descending or sidehilling a steep slope or from a distance away. To help reduce your chances of being caught in a dangerous slide, avoid steep open slopes on the northern half of the mountain. Safer travel options exist on low-angle terrain and south-facing slopes in the morning before they get warm and wet.
