It would seem as if the warm spring weather has melted away our concerns with the weak faceted snow near the ground, so to speak. Stability has definitely increased lately and it seems fairly unlikely to trigger a slide that breaks to the ground. I suspect if you were really trying hard, you might be able to. Likely places would include all the following criteria:
- Slopes of 35 degrees or steeper.
- Slopes that faces NW, N, or NE.
- Slopes above about 10,000' in elevation.
- Slopes that have a shallow snowpack of 3 to 4 feet total depth.
