A persistent weak layer of sugary faceted snow from October continues to be dangerous. It's going to be tricky for a little while since red flags such as cracking and collapsing are not so in your face now. The snowpack is much more stubborn at this point. I did not experience a single collapse or "whoomp" of the snowpack on Saturday. All the new dense snow that we received is just what we needed to help stabilize the layer of faceted snow. However, this doesn't just happen overnight. Faceted snow is slow to heal and it is still very likely that a person could trigger a deep and dangerous avalanche today. Now the only we to tell if there is buried weak snow is to dig and perform stability tests on that layer.
