- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Plenty of cracking and collapsing and cornice drop avalanche into north facing West Bowl of Silver Fork (occurrence here - https://utahavalanchecenter.org/avalanche/40675)</p>
Noted both shallow size 1 new snow naturals and recent naturals into old snow along Cardiac Ridge. New snow avalanches should settle out. Old snow not so much.
Few secrets on mid and upper elevation shady aspects. Pulled out the shovel for south facing at 10k below Honeycomb in upper Michigan City. Found structure, but no alarming results. Photo below. Well bonding storm snow above the Thanksgiving storm crust with some .5mm 4F facets beneath the crust. ECTX x 3.
Good to get out with Doug Wewer. He takes amazing photos of snow crystals and grains. Check out http://desertsnowphotography.com/
Snowpack
Skier's left of upper Patsy had some wind whales but not found elsewhere. Good, right-side-up skiing.
