Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche in storm snow one to two feet deep. Be careful on any slope where you find more than about eight inches of new snow. Look for cracking and collapsing; don't be surprised if slabs are soft. Areas where the wind has drifted and stiffened the snow will be more prone to avalanching. Avoid areas where you find pillows below cornices and along gullies. Head to lower-angle slopes or those sheltered from the wind for safer travel.
