As much as a foot of snow accumulated on Friday and Saturday, accompanied by gusty northwesterly winds transporting snow at higher elevations.  Windy conditions are forecasted to persist through the week, backing to the southwest.  On most slopes, the snow coverage is presently too thin for avalanche threats, but you are most likely to encounter instabilities over the next week in the form of fresh wind slabs above treeline. The most concerning locations will be slopes with recent drifting snow, especially on shaded terrain that held existing coverage from previous storms (See this observation).  Avoid heavily windloaded features below ridgelines or in gullies, where the snow coverage is smooth and thick enough to cover rocks and vegetation.  Cracking underfoot is a telltale sign to reconsider your route.

The recent snow can sluff off of rocks and out of gullies in the form of loose snow avalanches, especially as the snow moistens from rain or sunshine.  Rollerballs or small point releases shedding off of very steep slopes are warning signs to assess your terrain choices and overhead hazards.  Southerly aspects are most likely to be a concern early in the week as sunshine and warmer temperatures return to the mountains, while all aspects should be monitored when rain-on-snow returns later this week.
