Heads up.... avalanche danger rises significantly overnight as a powerful storm sets its sights on the region-
For today, MODERATE avalanche danger dots steep, upper elevation leeward slopes at and above treeline. Human triggered avalanches are POSSIBLE, especially in the wind zone on drifted terrain facing the north half of the compass, and particularly on slopes with an easterly component to its aspect. With several layers of wind drifted snow, there's enough there... there, to catch you by surprise and knock you off your feet.
If you're looking for LOW avalanche danger you came to the right place. Simply steer your snow riding vehicle toward mid and low elevation terrain, especially slopes facing the south half of the compass where human triggered avalanches are UNLIKELY.
