Avalanche Summary
Most slopes are safe from avalanches. This does not mean small avalanches are impossible. You can trigger small slides on isolated wind-loaded slopes in the alpine that face north and northeast where stiffer wind-drifted snow sits atop older weak snow near the ground. Look for and avoid sculpted smooth pillows of snow below ridgelines and in cross-loaded terrain features like gullies. All other slopes provide safer travel options.
