You can trigger small avalanches in newly formed wind-drifted slabs of snow on Friday. Strong westerly winds will drift new snow onto north and easterly-facing slopes at the highest elevations. There is a small chance you can trigger an avalanche that breaks on weak layers buried deeply in the snowpack. Steer clear of older and harder drifted areas on steep cross-loaded terrain features above treeline.
