Highlights
Avalanche activity will be unlikely on Thursday. For anybody in the high alpine terrain in the late afternoon, watch for isolated pockets of wind drifted snow that could release; avalanche activity will be very small but could cause you to loose your footing in steep terrain.
Avalanche Discussion
On Wednesday, I found the snow depth in the below treeline zone to max out at around 4" deep. As the trees thinned out, there were a few spots with old wind drifts that were a little deeper. Lee facing slopes near treeline had up to 6-10" of snow depth. For people venturing into the backcountry on Thursday, obstacles such as rocks and logs probably pose the greatest hazard.
