From what I've seen the past few days I would describe conditions right now as generally stable, but still requiring heads up snowpack assessment. Today I toured from Alta up to Cardiff Pass, made some laps in the Cardiac Ridge area, then skied out to the road in Big Cottonwood. For the most part I found 8-12" of powder (fist hard) on top of highly variable snow (facets, wind and sun crusts of varying thickness). In these areas it seemed that the 8-12" of powder was not cohesive enough to produce slab avalances. The one exception that I found today was nearing the top of a skin track under some cliffs on Cardiac Ridge (east facing slope, 10,300') where I suddenly found about 2' of four finger-hard snow (likely deeper due to wind loading) on top of a thin layer of facets that sat on windboard. A quick hand sheer produced a clean break on that facet layer with a moderate amount of force. I was in avalanche terrain so I didn't investigate further, but rather took a few steps back to an area with a more stable snowpack structure. I think that if I had poked around in that wind slab, it's fairly likely that I could have triggered an avalanche. I would describe the current persistent slab problem as isolated in distribution but potentially touchy in their sensitivity, and capable of producing avalanches up to D1.5.
