Highlights
A MODERATE avalanche danger exists on steep slopes that face northwest, north, northeast and east. Human triggered avalanches are possible. Wind drifted snow from Wednesday has enhanced this problem. If you avoid steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow you will most likely stay out of danger.
Snow and Weather
The wind picked up and was blowing pretty strong for a good portion of Wednesday. This of course drifted snow in many areas. It was getting well down into many of the drainage bottoms.
The video below is from the last couple of days of backcountry observations. A persistent weak layer of sugar snow near the ground remains the biggest concern in the high northerly facing steep slopes.
