Avalanche Summary
Be careful anywhere you find more than about 8 inches of new or wind-drifted snow. The most dangerous areas are where the winds have created rounded pillows of snow that may crack under your weight. These pillows could be hard or relatively soft and will build and change throughout the day. With variable winds for the storm, expect loading in unusual areas as well as in open areas below the treeline. In shallow rocky areas, you may still be able to trigger a deeper avalanche. You can find safer riding in areas sheltered from the wind.
