Danger level 2
THE BOTTOM LINE

Storm slab resting on weak facets.  Three days and nights of cold temps have helped strengthen.  Look for areas where tension has been released through previous cracking or avalanches.  Alpine slopes which appear loaded with snow (have not avalanched) should be avoided.
