Overall the avalanche danger is MODERATE, but areas of CONSIDERABLE danger remain on steep upper elevation slopes that face N-NE-E. Backcountry travelers need to maintain heightened avalanche awareness. Avoid steep, wind drifted terrain, and continue to carefully evaluate any slope steeper than about 30 degrees.
