The weak loose sugary faceted snow near the ground appears to be mostly dormant right now. While it is fairly unlikely to trigger an avalanche that breaks to the ground right now, I still don't trust the stuff. Faceted layers of snow buried deep in the snow pack are notorious for biting you when you think things are safe.
