Avalanche Summary

Strong winds continue to blast snow around and create cohesive slabs. With gale-force winds, expect these slabs to develop well below ridgelines and into the trees. 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.
