Your choices for riding or turning are limited to a few patches of high elevation snow facing the north half of the compass... and that's exactly the type of terrain where you could trigger an avalanche today. Underneath this white facade is early season snow that grew weak and sugary and today's ripping winds, along with fresh storm snow will create a supportable slab. Problem is, this supportable slab rests on top of a sugary junk show underneath.
Unfortunately, a lot of avalanche accidents and close calls occur early in the season when we don't think there's enough snow to slide. As the storm develops it'll create a dangerous early season setup- strong snow on weak snow. Today, you'll want to look for and avoid any fat, rounded piece of snow, especially if it sounds hollow like a drum. Remember- clues like shooting cracks and booming collapses or whoomphing sounds are huge clues to unstable snow.
There's not much snow and triggering a slide will immediately ruin your day, taking you for a nasty ride through rocks and stumps barely hidden underneath the shallow snowpack, resulting in a season ending injury.
