Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are free from avalanches simply due to the lack of snow cover. High-elevation wind-drifted slopes are the only places you may be able to trigger an avalanche. Avoid gully features or places where you observe smooth drifted pockets of snow or a wind-hardened surface. Although the chance of triggering an avalanche is small, even a small avalanche in early-season conditions can lead to an unforgiving ride.
