The avalanche danger remains CONSIDERABLE on steep, upper elevation, northerly facing slopes. In these areas, recent and wind drifted snow has piled on top of layers of weak, sugary, faceted snow and human-triggered avalanches are likely. At mid-elevations, there is MODERATE avalanche danger. This persistent weak layer problem will be with us for the foreseeable future and steep, northerly facing slopes should be avoided. Even a small avalanche triggered under these conditions can have serious and painful consequences. Most south-facing slopes and low elevation terrain have a LOW danger due to lack of snow cover.
