Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are safe from avalanches, mainly due to very thin coverage. You may be able to trigger small avalanches in stiffer, wind-drifted snow on northerly and east-facing slopes in the alpine. Filled in gullies and wind-loaded slopes below ridges are both the most suspect and attractive for riding.

If you find cracking in the new snow, head to slopes sheltered from the wind or slopes less than around 30 degrees in steepness.
