Blowing and drifting snow has created a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger at mid and upper elevation, wind exposed terrain, particularly on slopes with a W-N-E aspect. Human triggered avalanches are likely in these areas. Lower elevation, south facing terrain offers mostly MODERATE danger. Backcountry travelers today need to have excellent route finding skills and know how to stay off of, and out from under, avalanche prone terrain.
