A 'scary' MODERATE danger exists on steep west to north to east facing aspects at all elevations. You can trigger avalanches 1-3' deep and you can trigger avalanches from a distance or from below. The danger is more pronounced on north to northeast-facing slopes at the mid-elevations.
There is also a MODERATE danger on all aspects at the upper elevations where there are pockets of wind-drifted snow.
Cool temperatures and northerly winds should keep the snow surface cool, but loose wet avalanches may be possible on steep southerly aspects.
