- <p>Wind slabs the main concern for today. </p>
See runout below - terrain choices are key when avalanches are possible. It's all about setting yourself up for success in the event your snow evaluation is wrong. Getting caught and carried here (as with yesterday's wind slab off the ridge) does so - you don't end up in a steep gulley, over a cliffband, into a crevasse, raked through trees, etc. Note how the debris spreads out so the chances of full burial are slim.
