The main concern is that you can trigger an avalanche in wind-drifted snow that steps down to weak layers near the ground. Strong northerly winds on Tuesday will drift snow onto easterly and southerly slopes. Easterly slopes are more concerning than southerly slopes because the snowpack is much weaker. Avoid steep drifted slopes. Shooting cracks in the snow and an overall harder feeling to the snow surface indicates you have found a drifted slab of snow.
