Avalanche Summary

Be careful on steep slopes where you find more than about eight inches of new or wind-drifted snow. Look for and avoid rounded pillows that may crack under you. Even a tiny slide in steep terrain can be consequential. In shallow areas with lots of rocks, you may still be able to trigger an avalanche on deeper weak layers. You can find safer riding in areas sheltered from the wind with a deep, homogenous snowpack.
