Avalanche Summary

You can trigger small slides in freshly wind-drifted snow on easterly aspects. Steer around harder drifts of snow on steep slopes, especially close to ridgelines. There is a slight chance you can trigger an avalanche that breaks on deeper buried weak layers. In continuously steep northerly terrain, you could trigger a loose avalanche that could be problematic if combined with a gully or cliff band. You can find safer travel on slopes sheltered from the wind.
