The buried weak recrystallized snow from both January 8th and January 24th have shown their hand with yesterday's foot of snow. Mostly dormant since the 12th, these notoriously persistent weak layers will become only more active and sensitive with additional snow and wind through tomorrow. You'll need to approach all mid and upper elevation west to north to east facing slopes with absolute caution. Typically, these are best managed by lowering your slope angle to less than 30 degrees or so; however, with a snowpack structure conducive to remote triggering, it may be possible to pull the avalanche down on top of you even if traveling through moderate terrain.

Spatial variability is high these days. It warrants another step back. Collapsing will be evidence of local instability. Lack of collapsing means nothing.

The northwest winds should be increasing through the day and into tomorrow, with ridgetop speeds expected to reach 30mph by early afternoon and up to 40+ by tomorrow. Wind drifts will be prevalent along the ridgelines and will be sensitive to provocation. They'll be more prominent on slopes facing north through east through south, though if tomorrow's speeds verify, drifts will form both well off the ridgelines and in unusual areas. Shooting cracks are typical of recent loading. Test slopes will be key.
