Today's avalanche danger is pretty straight-forward and easily managed with terrain choices-
While the avalanche danger is generally LOW across the range, there are isolated places where you could trigger an old wind drift, especially in steep terrain above treeline in the wind zone. And here's something to consider... if you're getting into steep, technical terrain, even a small slide can knock you off your ride, slam you into a tree, and boss you around.
Also, the snowpack is locked in place and the danger of wet avalanches should remain in the LOW category. However, if the snow you're riding on becomes damp or unsupportable, simply switch to a cooler aspect.
A bigger hazard is an unexpected fall and subsequent slide for life on a steep, frozen slope.
