With new snow and an uptick in upper elevation winds yesterday, the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE on wind-loaded slopes above treeline.
Slopes near and above treeline not loaded by recent winds have a MODERATE danger, mainly in areas that received the most snow overnight and this week. The new snow may sluff easily and could produce soft slab avalanches.
Below treeline the avalanche danger is LOW.
