Avalanches remain a very minor to non-existent threat right now. By far, the most dangerous aspect of the snowpack is its shallow nature and the risk of hitting rocks, logs, or stumps beneath it.

Here's some longer-term speculation. The snowpack continues to slowly metamorphose into loose faceted snow. It's to the point where all this snow is almost guaranteed to act as weak layers once it is buried by more layers of new snow. Sooner or later the weather pattern will probably change and we'll see more consistent storms roll through. I'm not seeing that happen until at least mid-February. It will probably take a few storms until avalanche conditions get dangerous so maybe we start to see the danger increase later in February. My hunch is that we will be dealing with a Persistent Weak Layer avalanche problem through the end of the season.

That's a lot of speculation and weather patterns will ultimately dictate how things play out. Bottom line: anticipate avalanche conditions becoming dangerous once we start layering up the snowpack. This will be a bit difficult for people as we've been "powder starved" and when (if?) the snow comes, we are going to want to go get after it. I think you can see where desire could meet danger here.
