Predicting the hazard; not really my area of expertise. Fairly sure most everyone here is familiar with the classic algorithms: new snow = hazard or warming = hazard or new snow + warming = hazard. I'm surprised there weren't more reports of soft slab releases before the wet slab cycle. Maybe things remained nice and frozen in places. In any event, the firnspiegel ski conditions were a subtle warning of sorts. Maybe I'm missing the point? ( I sometimes have trouble following discussions in English! )
Does anyone here use any decision-making frameworks such as Avaluator or ALPTRUTH? Find those helpful myself.
