1 Recent Avalanche Activity: Any recent avalanche activity is a sign of instability in the snowpack.
2 Wind: If it has been windy or very recently it has probably created dangerous unstable windslab.
3
Snow And Rain The more snow that falls in a short period of time and
the faster it falls the more it will create dangerous conditions. - The
same applies for heavy rain as well.
4
Whoomping Sounds Or Cracks: Cracking in the surface and/ or whoomping
sounds mean a weak-layer is collapsing and the snowpack is unstable.
This is a sure sign that the snow pack is very unstable.
5.
Rapid Temperature Rise: If the temperature rise's rapidly, this is a
sign that wet slides could occur. Roller balls and point releases all
indicate that the snowpack is wet and getting unstable.
