Today the combination of snowfall and very strong winds will create a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger at upper elevations where slabs of wind drifted snow should be easy to trigger. Also watch for fresh wind slabs at middle elevations where the avalanche danger is MODERATE. Triggering an avalanche at low elevations will be unlikely because there just isn't much snow and the danger is LOW.
The challenge today will be finding slopes with enough snow to ride which means going to higher elevations, but few slopes at upper elevations will be untouched by winds.
