With new snow stacking up, fresh wind drifts along the leeward side of upper elevation ridges will become reactive to our additional weight and may break a bit deeper and wider than you'd expect, especially by late in the day. The good news is... today's drifts will predictably break at or below our skis, board, or sled. But remember... if you're tagging steep, technical terrain, be aware that even a small slide could knock you off your feet and boss you around. So, the ticket to riding safely today is simply look for and avoid any fat, rounded piece of snow, especially if it sounds hollow like a drum.
