Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are generally safe. Keep in mind avalanches are not impossible. Steep, unsupported slopes with uneven snow coverage are most prone to avalanches. Also, keep an eye out for cohesionless snow and fast-moving sluffs that can knock you off of your feet. Choose slopes with clean runouts that do not end in terrain traps such as gullies or cliffs, even though the chance of triggering an avalanche is small.
