Heavy snowfall has created a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger, and human triggered avalanches are likely on steep, wind drifted slopes that face W-N-E. Wind drifts are recognizable by their smooth, rounded appearance and cracking is a sign of instability. Avoid steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow. Human triggered avalanches within the storm snow are also possible and the danger is MODERATE on steep slopes on all aspects. Storm snow avalanches can either come in the form of loose sluffs, or cohesive soft slabs. And finally, a triggered wind drift, or storm snow avalanche may have the potential to step down into a buried, persistent weak layer causing a deeper and more dangerous avalanche. Be conservative in your terrain selection today and allow the new snow to settle in and adjust.
