Avalanche Summary
Avalanche conditions are very dangerous, and you can trigger a deadly avalanche on many slopes. Obvious signs like cracking and collapsing are diminishing, yet observers report large avalanches, many triggered remotely daily. As warning signs reduce, it gets easier to talk yourself into steep terrain, but the first sign you may get is a large slide with you under it. Slopes that have been heavily wind-drifted will be the most dangerous. You can find safer travel on low-angled slopes well away from steep terrain.
