I believe it. Lots of whumphing on Saturday.

It is interesting to note that in the middle of the week every level (alpine, tree line and below tree line) was HIGH. When they issued the SPAW, the only HIGH was in the alpine.

“The danger ratings are going down across the map because naturally running avalanches have slowed down or stopped,” explains Ilya Storm, forecast program supervisor for Avalanche Canada. “However, now many slopes are primed for human-triggered avalanches. Distinguishing between slopes that have already slid and those that are the tipping point will be very difficult. This, combined with clearing weather during a holiday week, has us very concerned for backcountry users.”

population plus considerable rating means risk taking to find good snow... play safe and look out for each other out there!
