Yesterday's human triggered avalanche off Pioneer Peak, shows it's still possible to trigger soft and hard drifts of wind blown snow. Most of the avalanches reported over the past couple of days have been on steep, upper elevation, northerly through easterly facing terrain. I would continue to let the snow settle and heal up for another day or two before committing to large open faces.

Human triggered large avalanches into much older snow layering 3-6' + deep are possible in isolated areas. In general, these avalanches probably need to be triggered by a heavy load such as a cornice fall, or a new snow avalanches stepping down to older layers. Or being unlucky enough in finding the thinner trigger spot in the slab. The recent avalanche from Guardsman Pass area (video below) shows this problem still exists and terrain that has avalanched previously (repeater slopes) or other thinner snowpack areas are not to be trusted.

CORNICES ARE ENORMOUS. Most of these are too large to intentionally drop onto a slope below. They will break back farther than you think, well back from the apex of the ridgeline. Exercise great caution along and underneath the heavily corniced ridgelines. (PC: Grainger)
