Avalanche Summary
You can trigger an avalanche in the new storm snow. Over a foot of new snow and winds will increase the reactivity of recent storm snow on Thursday. The more new snow you find, the more dangerous the avalanche conditions. Look for cracking and collapsing in the new snow and avoid steep slopes where you observe these signs of instability.
Conditions are still shallow most places and the most dangerous slopes correspond with where you find the deepest and most continuous snow coverage in the alpine.
