Some years yes. But downhill always ends in lava rock, so control of descent is more than helpful. and there are large lava boulders that can cause a painful stop if not accounted for.
This year the snow base has not been much & the majority of the snow was gone quickly for the first two snows - there were a few long scrapes of snow hanging on but most likely those were icey
