The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE today and human triggered avalanches are likely on steep, wind drifted slopes. The danger is greatest on mid and upper elevation terrain that faces NW-N-SE, but at upper elevations, fresh drifts may be found on all aspects. In some areas, a triggered wind drift has the potential to step down into a buried persistent weak layer causing a deeper and more dangerous avalanche. Careful snow stability analysis is required, and any wind drifted slope much steeper than about 30 degrees should be avoided.
