Yeah slope angle is the main factor, is what you're on or what's above you a 30 degree slope or more holding snow? I know those lake chutes are avy terrain from the map topography, and people have always warned me about avalanche danger in that specific area. Also that's a north east facing slope which the CAIC said is most likely to have persistent slab problem that day, due to more snow on shaded northern slopes and wind loaded eastern slopes since predominant winds in the Rockies blow west to east. Trust your gut. I'm also consulting a guide book which claims no avy terrain if you stay on the lost lake trail.

Can almost feel the cold and the snow and smell the pines. Thanks for riding
Awesome glad to hear it have a good season yourself!
Nice video. A little early season, but I love the stoke.
Haha yeah for sure. Thanks!
How do you determine you're outside of avalanche terrain? Is angle the only consideration?
