Many steep slopes are near or at their tipping point. The mountains could come unglued today and tonight. Large, destructive avalanches will release naturally on some slopes.
The intense multi-day storm is overwhelming very weak snow that formed during the month-long drought, including surface hoar, facets, and facet + crust combinations.
The travel advice is simple: stay off of steep slopes and the areas beneath them.
