We probably hit the apex of the avalanche danger in relation to the buried persistent weak layer of sugary facets from Jan/Feb. Things will become more stubborn and less likely to trigger. That said, conditions still remain dangerous and human triggered avalanches are still very likely right now. The problem with a buried layer of loose sugary snow is that it is very slow to stabilize and gain strength. Warmer springtime temperatures will speed the process but I guarantee that things are not stable yet. When? I'm unsure of that. We will just have to watch the weather and snowpack.
