Most slopes are safe to start the day on Wednesday, but the danger will increase by the afternoon as wind drifts new snow into cohesive slabs on the leeward side of ridgelines. If you notice about a foot of new snow on slopes facing north, northeast, or east, you should avoid traveling on steep slopes above terrain traps such as a creek or a cliff.
Expect the avalanche danger to increase dramatically overnight Wednesday into Thursday.
