Backcountry safety. Avalanche terrain can kill. The danger level shown here is copied from the official avalanche bulletin and can be out of date or simplified. Always read the full bulletin, carry a beacon, shovel and probe, travel with trained partners and make your own decisions. Powder Dayz does not assess snowpack or terrain. A missing or low rating does not mean the area is safe.
