Travel is pretty limited to upper elevation terrain. But here's the problem... that's exactly where today's hazard exists, especially on steep wind drifted slopes facing the north half of the compass. Today's avy conditions are on the verge of becoming tricky as the snow feels solid underneath our skis, board or sled. And while most of our snowpack is welded in place, I bet a few fresh wind drifts react to our additional weight. Best bet for today is avoiding any fat, rounded pillow of snow, especially if it sounds hollow like a drum. Once triggered, today's avalanches have the potential to break deeper and wider than you might expect. Remember, even a small wind drift can easily knock you off your feet and slam you into a group of trees or over a cliff band.
