The most dangerous area is near Steamboat Lake and Hahns Peak. The snowpack is much shallower than the main Park Range, making it easier to impact the weak layers and trigger an avalanche.
Evaluate and select terrain carefully, no matter where you are in the zone. You may not see any signs of cracking or collapsing before triggering a large avalanche. Unless you are sure there is more than about four feet of constant snow on the slope, stick to slopes less than about 30 degrees for safer travel options.
