Apologies for our tardiness... we're working through a wardrobe malfunction
MODERATE avalanche danger exists at and above treeline, especially in the wind zone, where human triggered avalanches are POSSIBLE on steep, wind drifted slopes. Note to self... unusual easterly winds reshape the landscape, forming atypical drifting on slopes with a westerly component to their aspect.
More the exception than the rule, a slide breaking to old snow isn't entirely out of the question, particularly in steep, rocky, wind drifted terrain facing the north half of the compass.
Lose some elevation and head to wind sheltered terrain where you'll find generally LOW avalanche danger.
