Bulletin d’avalanche

You can trigger a large avalanche on slopes where you find firm pillows of drifted snow. Avoid them on steep slopes below ridges and in gullies. You are unlikely to get any warning signs like cracking or collapsing before you trigger an avalanche. Multiple people could ride a slope before someone finds a weaker area of the slope and triggers a slide. You can find safer travel on low-angled slopes and in sheltered areas.

There is a chance of wet avalanches in very steep and rocky terrain. Avoid steep, sunbaked slopes if the snow becomes unsupportable or if you observe rollerballs in the surface snow.
