Although it is gradually becoming more unlikely for people to trigger avalanches, any potential avalanches could still be large and very dangerous. Buried persistent weak layers consisting of sugary faceted snow are widespread across the Logan Zone, and the threat of large avalanches failing on weak snow near the ground remains. Although suspect weak layers appear to be dormant in many areas, the sugary faceted snow near the ground is still dry, and it is likely to continue to be devious. People might trigger a large deep slab avalanche from a thinner part of the slab. As avalanches become less likely, they will remain possible for people to trigger on very steep slopes, in rocky terrain, and on slopes with generally thin snow cover.

Faceted snow and even depth hoar like this is widespread across the Logan Zone, and it exists on slopes facing every direction and at all elevations... Maybe it's dormant, but I'm not planning to test my luck in steep terrain anytime soon..

• Even a small avalanche can be dangerous if you get dragged into trees or other terrain traps below.
• On some slopes with existing poor snow structure, a small avalanche of new snow might step down into old snow and cause a much more dangerous avalanche failing on our deeply buried persistent weak layer.
