With strong winds like we've had, it is very difficult to nail down the exact locations where these wind slabs will be. The deal is on Saturday, anticipate any large fresh looking pillows to be sensitive. There is a chance that they will be so stiff and stubborn that they won't move but don't trust them until you've done a bunch of sleuthing and are satisfied that they are stable. This avalanche problem will be most pronounced at the upper elevations.

There was some older sugary snow that I was able to identify along the north facing slopes above Fairview Canyon. Other folks have noted that they have seen some as well. This older weak sugary snow will most likely act as a weak layer with the addition of the new snow and especially in areas where the wind has drifted snow. The older snow is only present on the more northerly facing slopes at the higher elevations. You don't have to worry about this avalanche problem on east, south and west facing slopes and all slopes below around 9000 feet.
