The avalanche danger remains CONSIDERABLE on steep, upper elevation slopes that face NW-N-E where human triggered avalanches involving new and wind drifted snow are likely. On isolated slopes in these same areas, human triggered avalanches failing on a buried persistent weak layer of loose, sugary, faceted snow are possible. Most mid-elevation and south-facing terrain have a MODERATE avalanche danger. Low elevations have generally LOW danger. Avoid steep, wind drifted slopes today, and look for signs of instability such as cracking in the snow surface.
