Though the odds of triggering an avalanche are decreasing, the danger remains MODERATE. Human triggered avalanches are possible on steep, wind drifted slopes primarily at upper elevations on slopes facing NW-N-E. A triggered wind slab also has the potential to step down into a buried, persistent weak layer causing a deeper and more dangerous avalanche. You are most likely to encounter a persistent weak layer on steep, shady, northerly facing slopes. Most low elevation and south-facing terrain have LOW danger.
