In sintesi
The best and safest riding will be in sheltered terrain where the snow is soft. As you get above the trees, avoid areas that the wind has loaded.

Avalanche Summary
A few small, human-triggered, wind slab avalanches were reported in the region yesterday in isolated features.
Snowpack Summary
Cold temperatures are likely to soften wind-affected snow and reduce slab properties that had formed. The upper snowpack is dry and soft.
A crust from early December is buried 80 cm deep but it hasn't been a problem yet.
The lower snowpack is settled and unconcerning.
