Today wind drifting is the main issue. The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE at mid and upper elevations. Low elevations have a MODERATE danger.
Avoid wind loaded slopes and you'll avoid most avalanches. With such a huge load of snow over the last week, the possibility remains for slides to break deeper in the snowpack on buried persistent weak layers. These layers are gaining strength and do not exist everywhere, but are lurking on some slopes.
