Use caution on upper-elevation, northerly-facing slopes if you find firm surface snow or signs of recent drifting. These are the spots where you can trigger a small avalanche. You will find problematic spots below ridgelines, in gullies, or on slopes with enough snow to look like enticing riding. Those spots will look filled-in, rounded, or like a pillow. The easiest way to avoid avalanches is to stick to slopes that had minimal snow cover before this storm.
