Avalanche Summary

If you find the wrong spot, most likely an area of shallow snow, you might trigger a deep avalanche that breaks near the ground. One might release on a steep northerly or easterly-facing slope above you, or some distance away. A large trigger, like a snowmobile's track cutting through the snowpack, or a falling cornice could trigger one too. Look for safer options on southerly or westerly-facing terrain
