Unstable areas of wind drifted snow continue to be our primary concern and the avalanche danger is MODERATE. Steep, wind drifted slopes right around treeline and above that face N-NE-SE are the most likely areas for you to trigger an avalanche but unstable drifts may be found on all aspects at upper elevations. A triggered wind slab also has the potential to break into a buried persistent weak layer causing a deeper, and more dangerous avalanche. Areas of steep, rocky, more radical terrain are where you are most likely to find this problem.
