While more the exception than the rule, there may be a lingering wind drift or two that remains sensitive to our additional weight today. And while most of our issues are confined to steep, leeward, upper elevation terrain, don't forget about Saturday's strong winds which cross-loaded terrain features like chutes and gullies. That's all pretty straight-forward... now here comes the tricky stuff because recent drifts are camouflaged with fresh snow, making them hard to detect. In any case, today you'll want to look for and avoid fat, rounded pillows of snow, especially if they sound or feel hollow like a drum. And you don't have to ride blind... tweak small test slopes like road cuts to see how they're reacting before tagging big terrain or committing to pre-planned objectives.
