The avalanche danger is MODERATE, and human triggered avalanches involving wind drifted snow, and buried, persistent weak layers, are possible. The greatest likelihood for triggering an avalanche exists on steep, wind drifted, slopes, right around treeline and above, that face NW-NE-E. The greatest danger for avalanches involving buried persistent weak layers also exists on steep, northerly facing terrain, especially on rocky, radical, or sparsely treed slopes where the snowpack is shallow and weak. Slide paths that have already run, and then filled back in are also suspect.
