Yes, there is a poor snowpack structure but at least in the 10,420 area, the snowpack remains fairly thin without too much of a slab on top of the weak faceted snow near the ground. The persistent slab problem seems dormant right now without much energy in the system. This doesn't mean you can't find an avalanche but I'm guessing they have become much more difficult to trigger. The depth hoar near the ground is fairly thin compared to other areas I've visited and so is the entire snowpack. So it's not gaining any strength because it's still under a super-critical temperature gradient since it's so thin. So the next significant loading might be pretty interesting.

Our next forecasted "storm" tonight will likely not add enough weight to reactivate the depth hoar but the very low density snow on the surface could be a bit slippery, especially where the wind creates some recent deposits on steep slopes.
