Northerly winds continue to blow and drift snow, and the avalanche danger remains MODERATE on all aspects at upper elevations. Look for recent deposits of wind drifted snow on the leeward sides of ridge crests and terrain features including sub-ridges, rock outcroppings, and gully walls. To avoid wind slabs, and to find the best snow, stick to mid and lower elevation, wind-sheltered terrain where the avalanche danger is generally LOW. There is also a MODERATE danger for triggering an avalanche on a buried persistent weak layer, particularly on wind loaded slopes that face S-SE. Other outlying areas of concern include steep, rocky, northerly facing terrain that has a shallow snowpack.
