Up to 10 inches of new snow is expected to fall with westerly winds. You can trigger avalanches in the new snow, but the main concern remains finding a shallow spot in the slab on a steep slope, and triggering a large avalanche. The most dangerous slopes face the north half of the compass.
Keep it simple during the storm by choosing low-angle planar slopes and avoiding likely trigger points, like the thinner margins of a slab, convex rollovers, and shallowly buried rocks.
