With each loading event we see this dragon come back to life - It's hard to say how much wind or snow (weight) it will take to re-activate this beast. Our lingering persistent slab avalanche problem exists at elevations 8500' and above, on slopes facing northwest through east (with a particular emphasis on north through northeast.) Thinner snowpack areas are particularly suspect.

As an outlier, surface hoar formed on the 22nd and buried on the 25th has been noted in the mountains east of Hunstsville and Eden (and in the southern end of the Logan zone) and has yet to be reactive to human weight or snow tests. This is a layer of concern. Any collapsing or cracking in this layering is a red flag. It'll be important to watch this layer and see if additional wind loading may provide additional stress in localized terrain. (Photo Below)

This year, I've continued to avoid this terrain all together by keeping my slope angles to 30° and avoiding terrain that's above and adjacent to me. I simply do not trust the snowpack. I am yet to ride anything steep (greater than 30°) that faces the north half of the compass. Maybe, some would call me too conservative (that's okay) I am in it for the long run.

Photo: surface hoar we found in Monte Crisco area of Ogden mountains. It's the long gray stripe in the snowpack, about a foot down from the surface.

As the strong westerly winds continue across the high elevations it will grab whatever snow is available for transport - depositing the snow on the lee side of ridges and terrain features. It only takes a few inches of snow to create new sensitive wind drifts. Avoid rounded, pillowy snow, especially if it sounds hollow like a drum.
