Avalanche Summary
You could trigger an avalanche that breaks two to three feet deep. The slides could be large enough to bury you on broad slopes. Avalanches will be smaller on smaller slopes like those above trails or along a gully. They can still be dangerous if you are knocked over and carried into a terrain trap such as a creek or a cliff. You can reduce your chances of triggering an avalanche by avoiding travel on large, steep slopes and by avoiding terrain traps.
