Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche on steep, drifted slopes at upper elevations. The most likely areas are where new snow drifts onto steep slopes below ridges and in gullies. Slopes that face north through east to southeast are the most dangerous. If you notice shooting cracks or audible collapses, seek out wind-sheltered slopes or slopes less than about 35 degrees.
