The General Avalanche Hazard is MODERATE. Backcountry travelers could trigger pockets of slab up to a foot in depth on steep, wind loaded terrain. New snow will easily slough off of sun crusts on south facing slopes but debris should not be significant unless it piles up against obstacles or in terrain traps.
