The avalanche danger is MODERATE in steep upper elevation, wind drifted terrain, primarily on slopes with a NW-N-E aspect where it is possible to trigger a recently deposited wind slab. A more remote danger exists for triggering a deeper persistent slab down to weak, shallow, sugary snow on similar aspects and elevation. Terrain choices are key - suspect slopes with steep convexities and be leery of rocky and more radical terrain.
The avalanche danger is generally LOW outside of wind affected terrain.
