Avalanche Summary

You can trigger a dangerous avalanche on most slopes near and above treeline. The most dangerous areas are wind-loaded terrain features on the lee sides of ridgelines. You can tell a slope is wind-loaded by the wave-like patterns on the snow surface or the hard, hollow feeling you experience when traveling across it. Identify and avoid steep, wind-loaded slopes and stick to wind-sheltered terrain below treeline for safer travel options.
