Primary Problem: Wind Slab
Bottom Line: Strong winds will drift recent snow, loading slopes where triggering wind slab avalanches that break 1-2 feet deep is likely. Ongoing snowfall and increasing winds will exacerbate this instability. Avoid steep terrain where active drifting, cornices and shooting cracks indicate instability. Select slopes sheltered from the wind—often found at middle and low elevations where the trees block the wind—for safer avalanche conditions. Manage the problem of avalanches failing on persistent weak layers by selecting less consequential terrain and following safe travel practices. Testing for instability can reduce, but will not eliminate, the chances of a surprise.
