Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Look for signs of instability: whumphing, hollow sounds, shooting cracks, and recent avalanches.
  • Pay attention to isolated wind affected features in the alpine, as well as cross-loaded features at treeline.
  • Keep in mind a buried crust offers an excellent bed surface for avalanches.
