🏔️ Did you know? You don't need to be directly on a slope to trigger an avalanche! A skier or snowmobiler's weight can cause snow collapse that travels hundreds of feet, triggering slides from a safe distance. Stay informed, stay safe in the backcountry.

❄️ Think avalanches only strike without warning? Think again! Most are triggered by the victim or their group. Stay safe: check forecasts, carry gear, practice rescue skills. Your life depends on it! 🏔️

Steep slopes = avalanche risk. Slides are most common between 30 and 45 degrees, and can runout onto less steep areas below.
