There is a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger in upper-elevation terrain where you are likely to trigger a new or wind-drifted snow avalanche that could be up to 2' deep and 150' wide. The avalanche danger is MODERATE at the mid-elevations and LOW in the lower elevation terrain where it will be less likely to trigger a wind-drifted snow avalanche, but still possible to trigger a soft slab avalanche failing in the newest snow.
Look for and avoid areas of wind-drifted snow such as pillowy, rounded slopes, or ridgeline features with new cornices. Only expose one traveler at a time to steep slopes (greater than 30°) and practice good travel protocols being aware of who may be below you before working into steeper terrain.
