The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE on mid and upper elevation slopes facing west through north and east. Avalanches may break down 4-6' deep (possibly deeper) and hundreds of feet wide. Natural avalanches are possible, and human-triggered avalanches are likely. My advice is to continue avoiding this terrain.
Upper elevation slopes facing southwest, south, and southeast have a MODERATE avalanche danger for wind-drifted snow avalanches. My advice would be to stick to the southerly (sunny) side of the mountain, where there is excellent powder and no buried weak layer.
