There is a lot of Fist strength (weak) snow at the top of the snowpack, and only 20cm of it is new. The rest is decomposing snow that has not gained strength yet and facets from the post-new year's quiet period.

ECTX further indicates that the danger from basal facets is mostly passed. Poking around in this layer confirmed that the facets have knitted themselves together in most spots, except where there are large voids caused by vegetation.

CPST was inconclusive as I could not get the saw cleanly through the vegetation, but anecdotally I did not observe any propensity to propagate.

I'm calling Friday's hazard moderate only for the sluffing. There was low danger of slab avalanches in the mid elevation terrain I observed. Tomorrow will be the same mix, unless a significant density inversion occurs in any further snowfall, or in areas where wind deposits snow on the low density new snow or old surface facets. In this case, hazard will climb to considerable.
