The chances for triggering an avalanche continue to decrease. It may be possible in spotty locations along the higher ridgelines where wind has created fresh drifts. If the drifts are in areas where weak faceted snow is present near the ground, these are the most likely areas to trigger something.
The majority of the terrain has a LOW avalanche danger. A "pockety" MODERATE danger exists in the described terrain.
In the unlikely event where you may trigger an avalanche, it will most likely involve some weak sugary faceted snow deeper in the snowpack. The chances for triggering something are becoming less and less with time. Unfortunately, the weak faceted snow won't be going away. As a matter of fact, more will probably form during the upcoming dry spell. For now, things are mostly quiet.
