A CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger remains on west through north through east facing slopes below 9500 feet and especially in sheltered terrain. Human triggered avalanches are probable. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible so anticipate someone walking a ridge above you who may inadvertently trigger and avalanche on top of you. In other words, do not ascend in avalanche paths. You also could trigger an avalanche from below onto yourself. Human triggered avalanches are also possible above 9500 feet.
