The avalanche danger is MODERATE today with two very different avalanche problems. At the upper elevations, be on the lookout for recent deposits of wind drifted snow on the lee sides of ridge crests and terrain features. Dry snow sluffs within the most recent snow are also possible on very steep terrain. And as the day heats up, be alert to a rising danger for wet slide activity. Signs of instability include roller balls and pinwheels. Get off of, and out from under steep slopes if they start to become wet and sloppy.
