Avalanches are intricate and puzzling phenomena.
Not even experts are able to accurately predict them. There are, however, a number of factors that greatly increase avalanche danger. Every person who ventures out during the winter should be aware that leeward slopes accumulate a great deal of wind-deposited snow and may become very unstable. In addition, avalanches are most common on slopes of between 30 and 45 degrees. Storms nearly always increase avalanche danger considerably.
