The snowpack continues to settle and stabilize. I have not experienced any cracking or collapsing over the last few days. I have not seen nor heard of any significant avalanches. Snow pit tests have been non-reactive. The weak sugary snow near the ground did gain a small amount of strength over the last week. All this points to mostly stable conditions. The trend will be a continued decrease in avalanche danger until more storms roll through.

There are a number of backcountry observations that have been submitted since Jan 3 that describe what people have been seeing. If you want to sift through them, you can find them HERE.
