The avalanche danger is MODERATE and human triggered avalanches involving wind drifted snow are possible. Steep, upper elevation, wind drifted slopes that face NW-N-E are where you are most likely to encounter a problem. There also remains an isolated, or MODERATE danger for triggering a deep avalanche, failing on a buried persistent weak layer. Though the likelihood of triggering this type of avalanche has lessened, the consequences have not, and this type of avalanche is un-survivable. The problem is most acute on steep slopes facing NW-N-E right around treeline and above. Most south facing, and low elevation terrain offers LOW danger.
