Avalanche problems
Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)
You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).
Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)
You can easily 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)
Advice
The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.
