The avalanche danger is MODERATE today, both for wet avalanches, and for avalanches involving a buried persistent weak layer. To avoid wet avalanches, get off of, and out from under steep slopes as they begin to turn wet and sloppy. Avalanches involving a persistent weak layer can still be triggered on steep slopes facing NW-N-SE at mid and upper elevations. This type of avalanche will be deep and dangerous, and careful snow stability analysis is required before venturing into steep terrain with these aspects.
