CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exists on steep, leeward slopes in the wind zone at and above treeline. While not widespread, human triggered avalanches are LIKELY, especially in wind drifted terrain facing the north half of the compass, and particularly on slopes with an easterly component to its aspect. Lose the wind and you'll find more predictable, MODERATE avalanche danger with human triggered, storm snow avalanches POSSIBLE on sustained steep slopes. In either case, once triggered, several storms worth of snow can boss you around and throw a curve ball at your day.
Your exit strategy for LOW avalanche danger is found on mid and low elevation terrain, particularly terrain facing the south half of the compass where human triggered avalanches are UNLIKELY.
