Near and above treeline CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exists. Human triggered avalanches failing on the midwinter drought layer (PWL) and breaking several feet deep are LIKELY and natural avalanches POSSIBLE, especially on slopes facing the north half of the compass. MODERATE avalanche danger is found below treeline and human triggered avalanches breaking to this weak layer are POSSIBLE.
Cloud cover and winds should put a lid on wet avalanche activity. But if the sun comes out for any length of time the avalanche danger rises to MODERATE. Small and predictable damp slides and sluffs come to life and human triggered avalanches are POSSIBLE on steep sun exposed slopes.
Scroll to the bottom for a note on slope angle and how to have a blast without entering avalanche terrain.
