In both mid and upper elevation terrain, but more pronounced in the wind zone at and above treeline, you'll find CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger on steep, wind drifted slopes. Fresh drifts are gonna be touchy and human triggered avalanches LIKELY, especially in terrain facing the north half of the compass, particularly on slopes with an easterly component to their aspect. Recent winds also whipped up fresh drifts on upper elevation southerly slopes in the alpine and penetrated low elevation shady slopes. In terrain with these characteristics, you'll find MODERATE avalanche danger and human triggered avalanches are POSSIBLE on steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.

You exit strategy is easy... more predictable avalanche danger exists as you lose elevation or switch aspect to mid and low elevation southerlies where you'll find generally LOW avalanche danger.
