Today the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE at mid and upper elevations. Avalanches can break near the ground 6-12 feet deep or in slabs of wind drifted snow 3-4 feet deep. The danger is MODERATE at low elevations where wet avalanches are possible.
Triggering an avalanche is getting a little harder to do with each day after the Tuesday/Wednesday storm. These are still dangerous avalanche conditions that require cautious routefinding and conservative decision-making.
