WHILE BECOMING HARDER TO TRIGGER.... TRICKY AVALANCHE CONDITIONS STILL EXIST ON THE EASTERN FRONT
More the exception than the rule, in the wind zone at and above treeline, you'll find MODERATE avalanche danger. Human triggered avalanches are POSSIBLE on steep wind drifted slopes, especially those facing the north half of the compass and particularly those with an easterly component to their aspect. Any avalanche that breaks into deeper buried weak layers near the ground will result in a scary and very dangerous avalanche that will instantly ruin your day.
LOW avalanche danger is found in lower elevation terrain, especially on slopes facing the south half of the compass. Human triggered avalanches are UNLIKELY.
