Quick report

There is still some soft snow out there, but finding less-tracked areas is getting tougher. The evidence of old wind slab avalanches is everywhere, but they have become less reactive with time. Be cautious venturing into any wind-loading terrain, but especially any mid-elevation or shallow spots the facets at ground level are where almost all of these avalanches have broken.

No red flags outside of old crowns

Snowpack

From what I observed the snowpack at mid-elevations is weaker due to new loads/triggers being able to affect the weak layer at the ground. Most spots had 25cm+of facets at the ground

Avalanche

Signs of old windslab avalanches are widespread at mid-elevations on all aspects. Any slope that could slide did after the last storm cycle plus wind event after. No signs of recent avalanche activity.
