The chance continues to trigger small pockets of wind blown snow above 8500 feet in steep leeward terrain. These conditions do not pose a threat of large avalanches however small slides can still carry severe consequences where they can push someone off a cliff ledge or carry them into trees or other obstacles. Safe travel protocols such as one person riding a slope at a time should be followed. Below 8500 feet the snowpack is mostly stable and avalanches are unlikely.
At the upper elevations small pockets of wind slab up to a foot in depth could be triggered in steep wind loaded avalanche prone terrain. These slabs were formed by southwest to north-northwest winds.
