The avalanche danger is MODERATE on steep, wind-drifted slopes at upper elevations and human-triggered avalanches are possible. Avoid steep slopes where you can detect recent deposits of wind drifted snow. On slopes facing the north half of the compass, last weekend's snow may have added enough of a load for avalanches to fail down to a buried persistent weak layer causing a deeper and more dangerous avalanche. On W-S-E aspects below treeline, the avalanche danger is LOW.
