HEADS UP.... IT'S SKETCHY OUT THERE TODAY AND AVALANCHE CONDITIONS ARE DECEPTIVELY TRICKY
In upper elevations, at and above treeline, the avalanche danger is HIGH. Human triggered avalanches are very likely, especially on steep, wind drifted slopes, and particularly on slopes facing the north half of the compass.
CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exists on mid elevation terrain and human triggered avalanches are likely on steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
Less widespread and pockety in distribution, a MODERATE avalanche danger is found on wind drifted, low elevation terrain and human triggered avalanches are possible on steep, north facing slopes.
Low elevation south facing slopes and terrain that held no snow prior to the Christmas Eve storm offer generally LOW avalanche danger.
