Bulletin d’avalanche

You could trigger an avalanche that breaks in weak snow layers at the bottom of the snowpack. Slopes with recently drifted snow are the most dangerous. Avoid areas beneath ridgelines, cornices, and gullies where you see a rounded snow surface or where the snow feels hard underfoot. Move to lower-angled or wind-sheltered slopes if you see cracking in the snow or hear collapses. Slopes less than about thirty degrees steepness without steep terrain above provide safer options.
