- <p>Predictable wind drifts, easily triggered with the weight of a rider and breaking about 12" deep on steep, leeward slopes</p> <p>This slide triggered last Saturday resulting in a near miss, is quite impressive and broke to the dirt where the snowpack was weak. While I think last weeks rain followed by the recent cold snap is helping to lock the snowpack in place, I'd be keeping an eye on steep slopes once we transition into the full swing, spring thing.... especially if we go several nights without a solid refreeze.</p>
