Vail & Summit County

Travelers easily remotely triggered avalanches on wind-drifted slopes over the weekend. Any avalanche is likely to step down into deeper, weaker layers. Slides will grow large enough to bury you. You may not get any signs of instability, like cracking or collapsing, before triggering an avalanche. Wind-drifted northeast and east-facing slopes are the bullseye for large avalanches.
