The new snow combined with strong wind most likely formed some fresh drifts along and just below the ridges. These won't pose much threat of buring a person if you should trigger one. However, they may boss you around enough to knock you down. The most likely places to find trouble are high elevation northeast facing steep slopes just below the ridgelines. Also, watch these drifts as daytime heating occurs. There could be some cornices that break off during today's warm up.
