Aspen

At upper elevations, there's a chance you can trigger a dry slab avalanche that might break on one of several weak layers in the upper snowpack. The most suspect slopes are wind-drifted ones, steeper than about 35 degrees, that face northwest through north to northeast.

At lower elevations, the chance of triggering a dangerous wet avalanche decreases each of the next few days. If you end up in an area with a collapsible wet snow pack, even one topped with a thin crust, choose less-steep options nearby.
