Layers of weak sugary faceted snow that formed earlier this year are present throughout our snowpack in many areas. These weak layers have produced some avalanche activity after every significant storm (which have been few and far between). Your main concern this weekend is the chance of triggering an avalanche that breaks into this loose sugary snow. The likelyhood of triggering one is decreasing but if you trigger one it will probably be a couple feet deep and that's more than what I'd call a "manageable" situation.

My co-worker Drew Hardesty hosts podcasts for the UAC. He and I had a conversation years ago that he decided to publish. It will give you insight to me as a forecaster but more importantly there is lots of information about Persistent Weak Layers, how they form, problems with them and how to deal with them. It is pertinent info for this season as we've had layers of loose sugar nagging at us all season and they continue to be a concern.
