Two to three feet of recently fallen snow rest on a buried layer of weak snow. You can trigger an avalanche on many slopes steeper than around 30 degrees right now. Any avalanches will break deeper and wider where the overlying snow is stiffened by the wind, especially at upper elevations. Choose slopes less than around 30 degrees or southerly-facing terrain at lower elevations.
