Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche that breaks two to three feet deep. The slides could be large enough to bury you on broad slopes. On smaller slopes like above trails or along a gully, the avalanches will be small but can be dangerous if you are knocked over and carried into a terrain trap such as a creek or a cliff. You can reduce your chances of triggering an avalanche by avoiding travel on large, steep slopes and by avoiding terrain traps.
