Steamboat & Flat Tops

Avalanche conditions are generally safe. You might trigger an avalanche in wet snow on very steep, rocky slopes where you fall through the entire snowpack. These small avalanches can be problematic above terrain traps. If melt-freeze crusts break down and you're sinking past your ankles into wet snow, head to lower-angle slopes or call it a day.

Starting and ending your day early is a good strategy to further reduce your risk of avalanches.
