In sintesi

A trace of new snow fell yesterday. A few more inches is possible later today and tonight, with increasing NW wind. The avalanche danger will remain low. Be mindful in steeper terrain if any wind drifting is observed. Small wind slabs could be possible. 

Be aware of other hazards like falling rock, icy slopes, whiteout conditions, thin lake ice and earthly obstacles.

    If snow forecasts verify, we could see several inches of new snow on the mountain, paired up with northwesterly wind. Any new snow will likely blow around, and fresh wind slabs could develop. Wind slabs are not likely to be large enough to cause major trouble, but none-the-less, keep it in mind if skiing about. If wind speeds are strong enough, it's often the case that the new snow becomes completely stripped off slopes and deposited into low angle gullies and bowls.
