Mostly stable avalanche conditions exist, and large avalanches are unlikely. You could find small, thin pockets of windblown snow near ridgelines. Small, natural and human-triggered loose snow avalanches are possible in very steep, sheltered terrain.

The danger is LOW, and large avalanches are unlikely. However, small avalanches can ruin your day in alpine or high-consequence terrain. We're not facing a single, well-defined avalanche problem, but there are a couple of things to consider as you head into the mountains: 

WIND SLABS: Watch for small, thin wind slabs in exposed terrain. They are few and far between in this zone, but a skier found one late last week in the Warm Springs drainage (photo and details here). While these slabs and resulting avalanches will not be big enough to bury people, the slides could travel quite fast on the icy surfaces beneath them on sunnier aspects. If the snow suddenly gets deeper and/or stiffer, you've found a wind slab. If you see cracks shooting out from your skis or boards, think about the consequences of being knocked over by a small avalanche before committing to skiing or riding the slope.  

LOOSE SNOW AVALANCHES: You might be able to trigger small, loose snow avalanches in very steep terrain. Additionally, direct sunshine could produce small, natural loose snow slides on aspects on the southern half of the compass. As with the wind slabs described above, icy surfaces beneath the new snow increase the chances of a small slide knocking you over and pushing you somewhere you don't want to go.
