Published:
It's generally a stable snowpack. Be careful in areas with wind slabs, especially close to terrain traps.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)
