The period of windy conditions along with new snow over the last 5 days has increased the avalanche danger dramatically. Knowing that there is weak snow within the snowpack and seeing all of the wind loading occurring is enough to know that the upper elevation steep east facing bowls should be avoided on Thursday. The problem is that these are going to be stubborn and not all slopes will avalanche when a rider gets on them. It is very tricky to know which ones will avalanche and which ones won't. Lack of cracking or avalanches may lead one to think things are stable and give a false sense of security. It feels to me like Thursday is a likely day to hear about someone triggering an avalanche.
