Avalanches will be easy to trigger, especially on northerly-facing slopes where weak layers are most pronounced. These hazards are difficult to manage and require conservative decisions and wide safety margins. Lower-angle southerly-facing slopes are the best options to help avoid being caught in an avalanche.
