Poor snowpack structure remains with a dense, cohesive slab over top of weak, faceted snow, but it's becoming harder to trigger an avalanche. In my travels yesterday, primarily below treeline, I performed multiple stability tests with no results. Areas where you are most likely to trigger an avalanche are on steep slopes near and above treeline that face NW-N-E. There may be some outlying problem areas on upper elevation W and SE aspects. If you decide to step out into this kind of terrain, choose planar slopes without complex terrain features. Avoid likely trigger points such as steep convexities, or shallow points along slope margins or near rock outcrops. Personally, I'm not yet branching into this kind of terrain. It's still early in the season, and I'm just not quite ready to trust it knowing what's under there.
