Today's avalanche dragon is deceptive, it's tricky, and it's dangerous... tease the dragon or pull too hard on its tail and you'll instantly know who's boss!
CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger is found near and above treeline, especially in terrain facing the north half of the compass. Human triggered avalanches are LIKELY on steep, rocky, wind drifted slopes where an avalanche has the potential to break deeper and wider than you might expect. Any slide that breaks to weak layers buried deep in our snowpack will instantly ruin your day.
A MODERATE avalanche danger is found at lower elevations and human triggered avalanches are POSSIBLE on steep, wind drifted slopes facing the north half of the compass. In addition, an older, rogue drift reactive to our additional weight may still be found in upper elevation south facing terrain
Mid and lower elevation sunny slopes offer LOW avalanche danger.
Note to self-
Hmm... avy danger sounds kinda Foxy (Lady :). And it feels like there's no reason to roll the dice and take my chances when there's amazing pow on low angle, wind sheltered, mid and low elevation terrain. Done, done, and done.
