For where we were, I believe the danger was more moderate than considerable. Given that the snowpack was very stable in our isolated test, I'd predict the danger to stay the same if not drop down the slightest bit towards low danger.

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Wind scoured throughout the majority of the valley. Entered from BCC and went up towards Cardiff. In every direction the wind had stripped and deposited snow. East facing aspects were significantly more filled in compared to the western aspects. Wind was also noticably whipping on ridges lines from WSW. Dug a pit (54cm), got a CT 17 Q1 @ 38cm (new snow + wind drifted) and a ECTX. Right side up.</p>
