GET THE PICTURE
Slopes steeper than 30º are more
prone to avalanches, but any slope
should be considered avalanche
terrain, even small slopes with trees.
Low-angle slopes are also
avalanche terrain if they have
steeper slopes above them.
NOTE
The 30º slope graphic is for illustration purposes only. The risk of an avalanche
is always present in mountainous terrain, regardless of slope angle.
Always look for the following warning signs of unstable snow. If you see or hear
any of these signs, riding on or below any slope is dangerous and should be
avoided:
• Recent avalanches
• A “whumpfing” sound under a
snowpack
• Cracks across the top of a snowpack
• A recent heavy snowfall
• Blowing snow
• Rain
• Rapid warming
GET OUT OF HARM’S WAY
• Before riding, always tell a responsible person (i.e. at the lodge or gas station)
where your group is going.
• Never ride alone. Always ride in a small, manageable group. Riding in a large
group makes it more difficult to track riders or find missing members.
• Go “one at a time”. Only one snowmobile at a time should cross, ascend or
highmark a slope. Other riders should watch from a safe location until the
previous rider exits the slope.
• Never park at the base of a slope or at the bottom of a gully or valley. When
parking to take a break or watch other riders, park at the sides of the slope
with the front of your snowmobile pointed away from the slope.
