As natural activity is fizzling out, triggering lingering wind slabs or the November crust at the bottom of the snowpack is still possible.
Keep your MIN reports coming as your eyes on the ground are appreciated.
A triggered windslab has a potential to step down to deeper instabilities with a more destructive potential. Consider testing smaller slopes before committing to a terrain with potential for larger propagation. Watch for hollow sounds and cracking.
Natural activity is decreasing as the recent new snow stabilizes, however, triggering this layer would be a high consequence event so cautious decisions and a thorough investigation is necessary.
Light to moderate SW winds blew the storm snow into wind slabs or stripped windward features to ground. The midpack is supportive and the crust /facet /depth hoar combo near the ground is the only layer of concern.
