Avalanche Summary

Many slopes are generally safe, but you might trigger a small avalanche on slopes where recent snow has drifted on top of the weaker old snow. The most dangerous areas are steep slopes and rollovers at upper elevations. Drifted-in terrain features can be identified by their smooth rounded appearance. In steep northerly terrain be wary of the unconsolidated snow entraining mass and pushing you into a dangerous area like a gully, cliff, or stand of trees.
