Avalanche danger is dynamic. Conditions vary due to seasonal weather variations, snowpack structure, and local weather patterns. When fresh snow settles on existing snowpack, the old layers become unstable, meaning backcountry skiers can easily trigger a slide.

Backcountry skiers: be prepared to make conservative choices and avoid slopes steeper than 30 degrees.
