Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche on many slopes facing northwest, north, and northeast, especially at higher elevations, generally above 10,000 feet. You probably won't see any signs of instability before triggering one, they can grow large enough to bury you, and you can trigger them from hundreds of feet away. To decrease your chances of being caught in a potentially deadly avalanche, avoid traveling on or underneath steep slopes facing aspects of concern, especially at higher elevations.
