Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are dangerous. You can easily trigger avalanches large enough to injure or kill you. Slopes where drifting is occurring are more dangerous. Avoid slopes below cornices and with obvious pillows of drifted snow. Backcountry travelers triggered many avalanches from a distance or the bottom of steep slopes in the last few days. Be aware of what's above you and below you. Safe travel requires giving most slopes steeper than about 30 degrees wide buffers.
