Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche where you find more than around 10 inches of wind-drifted snow. Near and above treeline slopes that face northwest to north through east are the most dangerous and will continue loading Monday as strong westerly winds prevail. Look for and avoid steep slopes that have a lens-shaped or pillowy appearance or slopes that look smooth and sound drummy or hollow. You will most likely find areas of drifted snow below ridgelines and in cross-loaded gullies. Cracking or collapsing in the drifted snow indicates retreating to lower-angled slopes sheltered from the wind.
