Today, there is a pockety MODERATE danger for triggering a small wind drift, most likely on an on upper elevation slope facing the north 1/2 of the compass. But watch for the hard, cracky drifts to be scattered on other aspects and even a few mid elevation slopes. There remains an isolated chance for triggering an avalanche that breaks 1-3' deep into faceted snow at the mid and upper elevations, most likely in steep, wind loaded, unsupported terrain, that faces northwest through east. Approach wind drifted slopes with caution, and consider the consequences of getting caught in any slide.
