Overall, the snowpack is mostly stable and the avalanche danger remains generally LOW in the majority of the terrain along the Skyline. A MODERATE danger still exists along the higher ridgelines where wind drifted snow has been recently deposited. Watch for plumes coming off peaks and ridges which will indicate which slopes are getting loaded. Human triggered avalanches are possible on steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
