The Persistent Weak Layer from November remains the biggest threat. Chances for triggering an avalanche that breaks into that layer are becoming less as time goes on. The mid portion of the snowpack is getting incredibly strong due to the large storm last week that contained very high density snow. This is "bridging" the deeper buried weak layer making it harder to trigger. What I don't like is that sometimes bridges fail. The deeply buried weak layer is still producing poor stability test results. It remains relatively loose and weak. I want to see it gain some more strength before I'm comfortable that it won't fail anymore. We are going in a good direction especially considering we continue to get more snow which will continue to compact that weak layer into a stronger layer eventually.
