You can expect generally safe avalanche conditions at elevations that get a good overnight freeze. Start and end your day early. If you find areas without a solid freeze or you start sinking through the surface crust into wet snow, reconsider your plans, move to lower-angle slopes, or end your day. You may find small pillows of wind-drifted snow on northerly and easterly aspects at high elevations. These could be hazardous and should be avoided especially if traveling in steep terrain.
