Heavy snow on Monday night and Tuesday is resulting in dangerous avalanche conditions. You can trigger avalanches in the storm snow that break 2 to 3 feet deep. These avalanches can be wide and large enough to bury a person especially if combined with a terrain trap.
Shooting cracks in the new snow is a warning sign of unstable snow. Places with wind-drifted snow near ridgetop are the most dangerous areas.
