Comments
There is enough weak old faceted snow above 9500' on north aspects in Silver Fork to potentially cause a weak layer after more new snow is deposited.
See this observation from DAYS FORK for more details on the early season snow cover.
This image is looking east from the top of West Bowl and shows the snow cover on the Silver Fork Headwall and Davenport.

This is a shot of "Over Easy" which is north facing off the top of Davenport hill. Plenty of weak snow in a large enough starting zone to potentially cause an avalanche when more snow is added.
