Yesterday, most of our terrain got shrink-wrapped by warm temperatures and strong sunshine. However, there may be a lingering wind drift or two that remains sensitive to our additional weight today. While most of our issues are confined to steep, leeward, upper elevation terrain, Saturday's strong winds cross-loaded terrain features like chutes and gullies and slabs formed lower downslope than we usually expect to see. That's all pretty straight-forward... now here comes the tricky stuff because recent drifts are gonna be camouflaged with fresh snow, making them hard to detect. In any case, today you'll want to look for and avoid fat, rounded pillows of snow, especially if they sound or feel hollow like a drum. And you don't have to ride blind... tweak small test slopes like road cuts to see how they're reacting before tagging big terrain or committing to pre-planned objectives.
