Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are generally safe. Watch for and avoid steep, wind-drifted slopes at the highest elevations. You might be able to trigger a small slab avalanche in wind-drifted snow. Even a small avalanche can take you for a dangerous ride over cliffs or down a couloir. Look for a rounded, wave-like snow surface to identify wind drifts. Cracking around your feet or machine is a sure sign of potential slides and a strong suggestion to avoid steep slopes nearby.
