Dangerous conditions exist. Recent heavy snow has formed thick slabs over a very weak snowpack. The most dangerous slopes are wind-drifted slopes that face a northerly or easterly direction. Be careful anywhere you find more than about 12 inches of recent snow. Shooting cracks and collapsing sounds are a sure sign of dangerous conditions.
