Higher elevation wind-drifted slopes facing north, northeast, and east are the most dangerous. You face a scary chance of triggering a smaller slide in the newly drifted snow that steps down to deeper weak layers, creating a more massive avalanche. Make cautious decisions this weekend. f you go big, so might an avalanche. Lower-angle, wind-sheltered slopes will provide safer riding options.
