Travel and Terrain Advice

  • Be aware of the potential for human triggerable storm slabs at lower elevations, even on small features.
  • As the storm slab problem worsens, the easy solution is to choose more conservative terrain.
  • Recent strong wind means wind slabs may be found farther downslope than expected.
