Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche that breaks up to three feet deep where wind-drifted slabs rest over very weak snow. The most dangerous slopes are at higher elevations where slabs are thicker. You can identify wind-drifted features by their smooth rounded appearance and hollow feel.

Any avalanche you trigger in drifted snow can step down to more deeply buried weak layers resulting in a much larger, wider, and dangerous avalanche.
