Red Flags Comment
<p>I did not not get high enough to see many red flags this afternoon, however some drifts to 2' deep indicate active wind transport.</p>

HS is only about 14-16 inches. HST at this location is 4"

Had some help breaking trail today from miss kitty, my main ski partner here in Fillmore:

I would say moderate to considerable in the upper elevations of the Pahvants.

If anyone is skiing in the Tushers or Brian Head area, I would say considerable based on the weak snow I saw this weekend in places coupled with the large snow amounts.

Instability Comment
<p>Wind slab based on the drifting I saw at the mid-elevations.</p>

4" of dense new snow at my high point of 7600'.  Pine Creek snotel showed HST 7", HS 27"  and Bob's Hollow showed HST  5" HS 21" this afternoon, Sites are down this evening.

Snow is well bonded, I was notable to initiate any sluffs on steeper slopes.

The Pahvants seemed to miss out on Sunday.  In comparison Big Flat in the Tushers was showing HS 37" this afternoon.
