Points saillants

Sled cautiously...

Rider triggered avalanches are unlikely, the more significant hazard is the shallow snowpack.

    Avalanches are possible in isolated terrain features like gullies and alpine bowls where deeper deposits of snow may sit atop a weak, facetted lower snowpack.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
  • Avalanche danger is often elevated in alpine gullies where snow has accumulated.

Moderate
