The avalanche danger is MODERATE on all steep slopes at the upper elevations where it's possible to find pockets of sensitive wind-drifted snow. Here avalanches can be 1-2' deep and up to 50' wide.
Avoid traveling underneath or along the edge of corniced ridgelines, as large cornices may easily break off. Long-running dry loose avalanches (sluffs) are also possible in steep, sustained terrain.
