The avalanche danger is MODERATE the mid and upper elevations on slopes with new and recent slabs of wind-drifted snow. Fresh wind drifts may be found on all aspects, including well-down into drainage bottoms which are usually wind-protected. While unlikely, it's still possible to trigger a slab avalanche 2' thick on a buried persistent weak layer on east and southeast facing slopes. The avalanche danger is LOW at low elevations.
Stay well back from ridgelines as cornices are large and sensitive, including breaking off naturally.
The avalanche danger will be on the rise through this weekend with strong winds and heavy snowfall arriving by Saturday afternoon.
