The additional snow and wind from the stormenhances the chance for triggering an avalanche that breaks into weak sugary faceted snow. The Persistent Weak Layer that formed in Jan/Feb is still quite active. The most likely places to trigger an avalanche are steep slopes in the upper elevations that face northwest, north, northeast and east. Wednesday's wind is a significant factor. Wind almost always makes for dangerous avalanche conditions especially when combined with a buried weak layer. The only thing you can do to stay safe is to avoid steep upper elevation northerly through east facing slopes.
