The avalanche danger is MODERATE above 5000 feet. More snow and moderate to strong winds today will continue to form wind slabs making it possible to trigger an avalanche on wind loaded slopes. Be cautious of all wind-loaded terrain today. Carefully evaluate the conditions before committing to a slope. Below 5000 feet the danger is LOW. Identify and avoid features of concern.

New snow overnight and continued windy conditions have kept the avalanche danger elevated. Natural and human triggered avalanches have been observed for each of the past 3 days. Above 5000 feet the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE and human triggered avalanches are likely. Dangerous avalanche conditions exist with cautious route-finding and conservative decision making essential. Below 5000 feet the hazard is MODERATE due to the wet loose problem.

Warming temperatures, strong winds, and relatively heavy snow created dangerous conditions. The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE above 5000 feet, and human triggered avalanches are likely.  Continued warming and additional snowfall today will cause sensitive storm slabs to become more widespread as the day progresses. Below 5000 feet where human triggered avalanches remain possible the danger is MODERATE.
