Winds will continue to distribute small amounts of new snow onto east-facing slopes. These small accumulations should be easy to manage, but use caution if you encounter new drifts over a foot deep. Even a small avalanche that carries you downslope could be problematic if you're above a cliff or get banged into rocks below. Wind-sheltered areas will provide much safer riding options.
