Highlights
There is still a MODERATE avalanche danger today in areas with recent deposits of wind drifted snow. These drifts are less likely to crack out on a person now compared to a few days ago but I'd still use caution on very steep slopes that have been loaded with wind drifted snow. These sensitive drifts are mainly on the east half of the compass right below the ridgelines.
