Avalanche Summary

You can trigger avalanches in the 12 to 24 inches of snow that fell on Friday night and Saturday. These avalanches can be large enough to bury you, especially if snow piles up in a terrain trap such as a gully. Watch for obvious signs of unstable snow, such as shooting cracks and sounds of collapsing.

Although less likely, avalanches can break deeper in the snowpack on a weak layer buried three feet deep. The most likely place to trigger one of these more deadly avalanches is on a steep and rocky slope with variable snow coverage.
