This photo last year shows a group climbing near Mt Blue Sky with obvious avalanche debris just to the right. The most important sign of avalanche risk are ongoing slides.

Whenever you spot debris or see a slide, take extreme caution and consider calling it a day. If you do not have avalanche gear and training, it's an unwise decision to continue.

Have you ever seen similar conditions?
