Bulletin d’avalanche

The snowpack is still thin. If you find a weak spot around rocks or the margins of a slope, you can trigger an avalanche that can break at the ground. Be especially careful in upper elevation north, northeast, east, and southeast-facing slopes that catch and hold wind-drifted snow. If you trigger an avalanche in the wind-drifted snow, it could step down to deeper buried weak layers, resulting in a large slide. Conditions like this can be a bit tricky. You won't see signs of instability, and previous tracks on a slope may not mean that the slope is safe. You can find safer travel on lower-angled and lower-elevation slopes.
