Faceted snow persists in the snowpack. In some areas this weak snow exists as layers while in cold shallow areas the entire snowpack can be faceted. Slabs resting on these layers can be triggered by backcountry travelers today. These slabs could be shallow and small in size or could release to depths of 30 inches or more, particularly in north facing terrain above 9000 feet where some potential remains for full depth avalanches.
