In other words, as these layers are more deeply buried, they may be harder to trigger, but the resultant avalanches will be far more destructive.

This MIN from Hummingbird pass reports shooting cracks and whumpfing, easy snow pit results, and evidence of recent avalanches.  This MIN from farther south found touchy conditions with \"electric propagation\" on ski cutting.  They were able to intentionally trigger small avalanches easily in steep unsupported terrain.  Both teams share the same advice: avoid steep, exposed or complex terrain.
