Triggering avalanches has become unlikely. The snowpack is deep, and it is hard for you to affect the weak layers at the bottom. Lingering worrisome spots are where the snowpack is thin, like around rock outcrops or the edges of snow fields or gullies. For those spots, there is still an outside chance of triggering avalanches.
