Snow conditions are quiet, and human-triggered avalanches are unlikely. I feel comfortable enough to prowl around in some steep upper elevation terrain. I've been assessing the snowpack in some of the steep starting zones for future snow loads, if we ever actually get another snow load. The one thing I am watching out for while I'm trying to get into this steep terrain is wind-drifted snow. Wind drifts and slabs should be avoided because I can almost guarantee that they are sitting on buried faceted snow and they could crack out on you.
