You can trigger an avalanche in freshly-drifted snow at upper elevations. Snowfall accompanied by strong westerly winds will begin on Sunday morning and raise the avalanche danger throughout the day. Avoid smooth lens-shaped pillows of snow directly below ridgelines and convex rollovers and inside gully features. Small slides in the new snow may step down into buried weak layers within the snowpack. Shooting cracks within the new snow are an obvious sign of instability and an indication to move to wind-sheltered slopes for safer travel.
