You may be able to trigger an avalanche in drifted snow later in the day as snow accumulates and wind speeds increase. Assess slopes that have more than about 8 inches of drifted snow for signs of instability. If you observe cracking or collapsing, avoid steep drifted areas or stick to lower-angle slopes.
