Strong winds drifted over a foot of recent snowfall onto leeward slopes at upper elevations. You could trigger an avalanche in the drifted snow. The most dangerous slopes are steep and face the north half of the compass, where slabs sit above firm, old snow surfaces.
You can find safer travel in wind-sheltered areas or on slopes less than about 35 degrees steep.
