HEADS UP... THESE ARE THE KIND OF CONDITIONS THAT LEAD TO AVALANCHE ACCIDENTS!
In the wind zone above treeline the avalanche danger is HIGH. Human triggered avalanches are very likely on steep, wind drifted slopes, especially those facing the north half of the compass and particularly those with an easterly component to their aspect.
At treeline, you'll find a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger and human triggered slides are likely on steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
While not as widespread, MODERATE avalanche danger is found at lower elevations and human triggered avalanches are possible on steep, shady slopes.
Looking for LOW avy danger? Most mid and low elevation south facing slopes and terrain that held no snow prior to the Christmas Eve storm offer generally LOW avalanche danger.
