Aspen

Reports of large natural avalanches have reduced however, you can still trigger a dangerous avalanche on most slopes over 30 degrees. Cracking and collapsing may not occur before an avalanche breaks on deeply buried weak layers. Avalanches can break wider and run into low-angle terrain. Slides can be triggered from below so give steep terrain a wide berth. Slopes less than about 30 degrees with no steep terrain above offer safer options.
