A layer of weak sugary faceted snow near the ground is still cause for concern. Although locations for triggering an avalanche are getting more and more spotty, it's difficult to identify which slopes will slide and which won't. The best mitigation technique is to avoid suspect slopes which are steep, high, north facing.
As we go into a period with no storms, we will watch the snowpack slowly deteriorate. All of the snow that is on the ground will slowly start getting more sugary. This could lead to a more widespread Persistent Weak Layer avalanche problem when storms start coming again. Stay tuned.
