Kernpunkte

Most terrain has LOW danger. Areas of MODERATE danger, however, exist on some slopes primarily in the upper elevations. The danger will be more pronounced on steep northwest to north to east facing slopes. Human triggered avalanches a foot deep are possible and may be triggered at a distance. They may also be triggered from below. Collapsing and cracking are immediate signs of an unstable snowpack.

Please make conservative decisions to avoid getting hurt and further stressing emergency services and the health care system.

Fresh wind drifts from Sunday night dot the landscape, primarily in the upper elevations and may be sensitive to triggering on and adjacent to steep terrain, primarily - but not limited to - northwest to east facing slopes. Note that cracking and collapsing are signs of instability and should caution a traveler to turn around or stay on low angle terrain. Again, many of these may be triggered at a distance.
