The avalanche danger is MODERATE on all aspects at the mid-and upper elevations where there are fresh soft slabs of wind-drifted snow. Also, be on the lookout for dry-loose avalanches in steep terrain where the low-density new snow could run fast and far, packing a punch.
The avalanche danger is MODERATE on mid and upper elevation aspects facing northwest through north and east where it is possible to trigger an avalanche failing in a buried persistent weak layer 2 to 4 feet deep. Don't let powder fever cloud your judgment today. Human-triggered avalanches are possible.
