Travel and Terrain Advice
Be aware of triggering storm slabs in areas where the slope changes abruptly or on open, extremely steep slopes with few trees. Be mindful of group management, such as making sure other skiers are not above or below you. The low snowpack exposes "terrain traps" such as deep streams, cliffs, rocks, and standing timber that can increase damage even if the size of the avalanche that occurs is small. Care should also be taken to avoid falling into gully.

However, low-density snowfall has been observed on the boundary surface, and a human-triggered avalanche was recently reported from there, so care should be taken in bonding. In the higher elevations, facet has formed on the top of the crust buried on February 22, and need to pay attention to the decline in bonding in the future.
