Strong westerly winds on Friday will drift the new snow into slabs of snow on easterly-facing slopes at upper elevations. This is where you can trigger avalanches. Steer around these harder drifts on steep slopes.
There is a small chance you can trigger an avalanche that breaks deeper in the snowpack on older, buried weak layers. Avoid the same wind-loaded places mentioned above to avoid both new and old avalanche issues.
