Steamboat & Flat Tops

You can trigger an avalanche on west to north through east-facing slopes where you find a cohesive slab resting on weak snow near the ground. Slopes in the alpine with drifted snow are the most dangerous. You are unlikely to see any signs of instability before you trigger an avalanche. Up to six inches of snow could fall in parts of the Park Range tomorrow. Avoid steep slopes below ridgelines if you notice the new snow drifting into cohesive slabs across terrain features. Low-angle and wind-sheltered slopes are safer options.
