Avalanche Summary

Carefully assess steep slopes with more than about eight inches of new or wind-drifted snow. You will likely find these rounded-pillowy deposits below ridgelines and along gully walls. Avoid steep slopes if these deposits are firm and hollow and crack under you. You can find safer travel on lower-elevation slopes sheltered from the wind.
