The avalanche danger is MODERATE on steep, upper elevation slopes that face NW-N-E where human triggered avalanches involving wind drifted snow are possible. On isolated slopes in these same areas, human triggered avalanches failing on a buried persistent weak layer of loose, sugary, faceted snow are also possible. With the sun making its first real appearance today look for a rising MODERATE danger for loose, wet avalanches on sun-exposed slopes. Be on the lookout for signs of instability such as rollerballs and pinwheels and stay off of, and out from under steep slopes if they become wet and sloppy.
