If you were to trigger a large avalanche, it would be where west and southwest winds drift snow into a stiff slab. Avoid steep slopes if you observe cracking in the snow surface or if the snow just feels stiff.
Where a slab has not formed, loose avalanches in steep consequential terrain could sweep you off your feet and take you for a dangerous ride.
As the sun shines, we could see a few more small natural loose activity on rocky, sunny slopes. Avoid slopes over 35 degrees that show signs of warming, such as rollerballs, point releases, or wet gloppy snow.
