Dangerous avalanche conditions exist. The most dangerous slopes are at upper elevations and face north through east to southeast. These are spots where renent winds have built thicker denser slabs over buried weak layers. If you trigger an avalanche it will most likely break on buried weak layers a few feet deep. You can find safer travel options on southerly-facing slopes or in wind sheltered areas.
