Avalanche Summary
Steep rocky areas connected to more extensive wind-drifted slopes are where you are most likely to trigger a deadly slide. If you trigger an avalanche, it will take the whole season's snowpack. You will not get any warning, and multiple people could travel on a slope before you find a weaker area that could trigger an avalanche. Avoid areas of wind-drifted snow. You could trigger an avalanche in these pillows that steps down to deeper weak layers. You can find safer travel on lower-angled slopes and those sheltered from the wind.
