Most terrain offers LOW danger and avalanche conditions are mostly stable. An isolated or MODERATE danger exists on steep, upper elevation slopes that face N-NE-E where it may still be possible to trigger an old, hard wind slab. Suspect areas that have a smooth, rounded look or hollow feel to them. High winds have caused slabs to form down-slope from ridge crests, and special attention should be paid to slopes that have steep convexities or blind break overs. In these same areas, a triggered wind slab may step down into a buried weak layer causing a deeper and more dangerous avalanche.
