Primary Problem: Wind Slab
Bottom Line: Three-day storm totals nearing a foot of snow and fluffy snow drifting into unstable slabs create dangerous avalanche conditions on wind-loaded slopes. Avoid wind-loaded slopes where avalanches are more likely and would be larger. Seek out non-wind-loaded terrain, stay alert for signs of instability (recent avalanches, shooting cracks, and collapsing), and dig down three feet to test for instability before committing to steep slopes.
