Danger by Elevation
Active Avalanche Problems
The snow is mostly stable. In steep lee slopes with recently wind-blown snow, small wind-drift snow avalanches can still occur. Cracks and slab formation are signs that the snow is avalanche-prone. If the sun warms strongly, it is wise to keep a margin from steep south-facing slopes where the snow can weaken and slide down.
Small avalanches in isolated locations or in extreme terrain.
