Preserving the vent space above those slopes would leave that venting as is and it should be fine.
As for what you can get into those cavities to increase the insulation while maintaining a vent path kind of depends upon your ingenuity and the space you have to work in.
I've solved similar problems, but the space dictates what will work.

That was a very informative article and I pretty much made up my mind that I will not be dense packing anything without vent channel.
I might have to just tear down the ceiling drywall and do it properly. It would only take about 4 sheets of drywall to repair ( small room). I would do it all myself.
What a pain in the butt this house is...lol.

Hi again Bud!
So it looking like my planned 18" of blown in cellulose is going to block part of my gable vents I installed as intake vents. I was thinking of creating a foam board fence to keep the insulation from blocking the vent. Do you think this will work out or will it significantly reduce the effectiveness of the vent?
