Snow from Oct and mid Nov became weak and sugary over time. Two feet of snow fell on November 26th which piled up on top of the older weak snow. The weak snow became overloaded and produced some natural avalanche activity. There were also some snowmobile triggered avalanches.
The weak snow remains at the base of the snowpack. Over time, it is adjusting to the high density snow on top of it. The chances for triggering an avalanche decrease each day. However, there is still a chance and it's difficult to determine which slopes will avalanche and which ones won't.
The bottom line is if you stick to slopes under 30 degrees in steepness, you will stay out of trouble.
