Quick report

Red Flags Comment
<p>No red flags today, but could see a slight change in conditions if the storm and some wind develop overnight. </p>

A variety of snow conditions out there with some firm crusts that did not soften much today with clouds and slightly cooler temps.

Found one old shallow wind slab, but these are very minor and a person needs really go looking for them.

Instability Comment
<p>Went with normal caution with not much going on from my travels. I did find one small shallow old wind slab on a small steep north facing slope that was very manageable and did not pose much problem. These are few and far between and a person needs to really go looking for them with generally safe and somewhat underwhelming conditions right now.</p>

Lots of hard frozen surfaces out there and they did not soften much today with the cooler temperatures.  Still some decent soft dense snow on slopes that are not seeing the direct sun.  Hope the upcoming storms will freshen things up.
