Comments
No surprise that the PWL is still very active and very dangerous. Seems as though a small melt freeze crust on top could act as another strong over weak layer with this new storm. Very worried that increased precipitation will overload this PWL. Can easily see wind slabs and storm slabs stepping down and triggering the PWL and creating large avalanches. Name of the game is low angle and low elevation southern aspects. Hopefully the new snow coming can help cause this highly active PWL to go dormant, however only time will tell.
