Today there is a MODERATE avalanche danger on steep slopes that have recent deposits of wind drifted snow, primarily in upper elevation terrain that faces NW-N-SE. Look for signs of instability such as cracking in the snow surface, and avoid slopes that have smooth, rounded drifts. There also remains an isolated, MODERATE danger for triggering a dangerous avalanche 1'-3' deep on steep, rocky, north facing terrain that has an underlying weak and sugary snowpack. Most other terrain has generally LOW danger.
