In a virtual sea of LOW avalanche hazard you'll find pockets of MODERATE avalanche danger in the wind zone, at and above treeline, on steep, wind drifted slopes. Human triggered avalanches are POSSIBLE, especially on slopes with an easterly component to its aspect. While more the exception than the rule, avalanches breaking into deeper, buried weak layers are still possible. Usual suspect terrain includes- steep, rocky, upper elevation slopes, particularly those exhibiting a thin, shallow snowpack and this includes repeater avalanche paths. Remember- any slide that breaks to old snow, instantly throws a curve ball at your day.
Wind sheltered mid and low elevation terrain offers generally LOW avalanche danger.
