You can expect generally safe avalanche conditions. On northerly or easterly-facing terrain above treeline you might find small areas of wind-drifted snow where you could trigger a shallow avalanche. Steer around stiff, smooth drifts on slopes steeper than about 35 degrees with consequential terrain below.
To avoid triggering a small wet avalanche, move off slopes steeper than about 40 degrees in the afternoon as snow surfaces warm.
