Steamboat & Flat Tops

Dangerous avalanche conditions exist. You can trigger avalanches in the new and wind-drifted snow. Avoid travel on slopes steeper than about 30 degrees in any areas where you find more than about 12 inches of new or freshly wind-drifted snow. Avalanches will be larger and more dangerous on easterly-facing slopes where strong winds will drift snow throughout the storm. Although rare, if you trigger an avalanche in the surface snow, it could step down to deeper buried weak layers resulting in a large dangerous slide. You can find safer riding on lower-angle slopes and in wind sheltered and below treeline areas.
