There is still a chance that you could trigger an avalanche that breaks into weak snow near the ground today. Here are the ingredients needed to find trouble:

• Slope steepness over 35 degrees
• Slope facing northwest, north or east, most likely on northeast to east
• Slope that has previously avalanched earlier this year

Obvious signs of instability will be absent today. You won't see any other recent avalanches. Most likely, you won't experience any cracking of the new snow. It's possible you may feel the snow collapse below you. If so, this is a significant red flag.

Below is a photo of a slope which shows which type of slope I wouldn't touch today. This is east facing in upper Seeley. The photo was taken in December after it avalanched to the ground. There is a very small amount of new snow on top of the bed surface which became weak again and is now buried. This is only one example but there are numerous other similar slopes out there.
