Dangerous conditions are expected over the next several days as new snow driven by wind begins to stress the underlying weak snowpack. Human triggered avalanches will become increasingly more likely and natural avalanches will be possible.

The danger is greatest on steep north through east facing slopes where pre-existing snow 1-2 feet deep has become loose, weak and sugary. New and wind drifted snow will eventually overload this unstable base. Signs of instability include, collapsing, cracking in the snow surface, and blocks of snow between your skis or near your sled track. Avoid steep, slopes where these signs are present.
