Avalanche Summary

If you plan to travel on steep slopes, start and end your day early. Ample sun and warm temperatures will raise your chances of triggering a wet avalanche later in the day. 3 to 6 inches of freshly-wetted new snow will easily slide on slopes steeper than around 40 degrees. Above treeline on north or northeast-facing slopes, steer around any isolated spots with more than a few inches of freshly drifted snow.
