Avalanche Summary

You will find areas of wind-drifted below ridgelines, along gully walls, or downwind of other terrain features. You could trigger an avalanche in this drifted snow on steep slopes. Even shallow slides can take you for a nasty ride down a couloir or over a cliff. Watch for and avoid areas with deeper new snow, rounded pillows, etched surfaces, or brittle snow that cracks around you.
