Strong winds continue to blow snow around and create small cohesive slabs. Look for and avoid rounded pillows that may crack beneath you. If firm snow is supportive and hollow, you have found the problem and should steer away from steep slopes. You can find safer riding on low-angle slopes or those sheltered from the wind.
