A MODERATE avalanche danger exists on steep slopes that have recent deposits of wind drifted snow. Fresh, unstable drifts are most likely to be found on leeward slopes facing NW through N through SE. Look for fresh drifts on the leeward sides of ridge crests and terrain features such as gully walls and sub ridges. Triggered wind slabs may run far and fast on slick surfaces underneath. You may also encounter some fast running, loose snow sluffs. Utilize slope cuts and test slopes to see how the snow is behaving before committing to steep terrain.
