Avalanche danger above the timberline is MODERATE. Isolated danger zones dur to fresh snowdrift accumulations are found in wind-loaded steep gullies, bowls, forest clearances, and in W/S/E aspects distant from ridgleines.
Backcountry terrain is heavily windblown due to storm-strength winds. Hard crusts lie adjacent to easily recognized snowdrift masses in wind-protected terrain (forest rims, bowls). Snowdrifts often lie atop weak layers and melt-freeze crusts.
