Although accidents are less likely in the summer, there have been fatal accidents every month of the year. Below is some general avalanche safety advice for the spring and summer. Our next scheduled update is November 1, 2013. We will continue to issue updates via Twitter if we anticipate unusually dangerous conditions before then.
