Avalanche Summary
You could trigger an avalanche where you find more than about eight inches of drifted snow. Recent winds may have distributed this snow into unusual locations. Treat any slopes with wind-textured snow as suspect. Use caution around any lens-shaped pillows of snow that commonly form near ridgelines, in gullies or on the backside of steep rollovers.
In areas that received more than eight inches of snow, pay attention to cliffs or exposed rocks, as you could start to see roller balls or fan-like point releases in the new snow. If you begin to see these signs, it is time to seek colder snow or call it a day.
