The snowpack is slowly, and erratically adjusting to the weight of recently wind-drifted snow. Thursday a few natural avalanches ran on freshly-drifted slopes with shallower-than-average snowpack depths. Over the last two days, a few very large avalanches broke deeply into the snowpack. If you trigger a slide in the recently drifted snow, once in motion it can step down into the deeper buried weak layers. Lower-angle slopes and wind-sheltered terrain offer safer travel options.
