Wind loading and slab development will create very dangerous avalanche conditions today. The snow that has been falling since the 21st has been exceptionally cold and dry creating blizzard-like conditions at times and transporting snow further than usual. Swirling winds around terrain features have caused cross-loading of slopes and wind slabs to form on all aspects. These slabs will be very sensitive to human triggers.
