Blowing and drifting snow have created a MODERATE avalanche danger and human triggered avalanches are possible on steep, wind drifted slopes. Most drifting has occurred on slopes facing the north side of the compass, but with the strong and gusty nature of the winds, you may find areas of unstable wind drifted snow on all aspects. On most south-facing terrain you will find a MODERATE to LOW avalanche danger. Wind drifts are recognizable by their smooth, rounded, or rippled appearance, and cracking is a sign of instability. Avoid steep, wind drifted slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
