- <p>In loaded areas with a deep snow pack danger is low. In connected areas with a thin snow pact due to rocks or brush danger is still possible of a large slide, due to the weak snow from early in the season.</p>
Snow pack was deep and strong in this location, did no test did not want to hurt my hand.
This picture was taken at the bottom of the phone shot. When this slid it went wall to wall even into the trees across the flats.
The snow stake shows 130 cm and even with 10 cm of new we have settled from 150 cm. As the snow stake states we can go any where if we are careful and stay off of steep slopes that have not slid yet.

- <p>A persistent slab connected to the areas with a thin snow pack could slide with a more snow loading or snowmobiles.</p> <p>A heavy snow fall could add enough weight to cause new slides, in the thin snow pack areas. The new snow over the melt freeze crust could get loaded enough to slide. These would not be very deep.</p>
The snow was a dense powder that was wind affected, the powder was over a melt freeze crust .
