A robust looking storm is on tap for later this week and the avalanche danger will rise as the storm materializes. In the meantime though, there's just barely enough snow to move around on and you'd really have to go out of your way to trigger a slide. However, it's not out of the question as recent strong winds created stiff drifts on the leeward side of the highest terrain which may react to our additional weight. And remember... even a small avalanche this time of year will reveal a myriad of season ending obstacles. So, if you're hiking, hunting, snowshoeing or out for a high elevation peak bagging circuit you'll want to look for and avoid any steep, wind drifted slope.
