A CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger remains on steep slopes facing W-N-E-SE. Human triggered avalanches failing on a buried persistent weak layer 2' deep or more are LIKELY. On steep, wind loaded, northerly aspects near treeline and above, avalanches could break up to 6' deep.
A MODERATE avalanche danger exists on steep slopes facing SW-S. Signs of instability will be less obvious on these aspects, but human-triggered avalanches failing on a buried persistent weak layer remain POSSIBLE.
This persistent weak layer problem will be with us for some time. Exercise patience and avoid slopes steeper than 30 degrees.
