Low Avalanche conditions made this traverse feel possible and safer for avalanche risk. This is what we observed in the field and were able to travel in more complex avalanche terrain because of it. However, the slip and fall hazard was high. Bringing extra gear such as ice axe, ski crampons, and boot crampons is highly recommended.
