The avalanche danger remains CONSIDERABLE on steep, upper elevation, northerly facing slopes. In these areas, slabs have formed on top of layers of weak, sugary, faceted snow. This persistent weak layer problem will be with us for the foreseeable future and though overall low coverage makes it difficult to access these areas, steep, northerly facing slopes should be avoided. There is a MODERATE avalanche danger on steep slopes at upper elevations that have recent deposits of wind drifted snow. Most other terrain has generally LOW danger.
