- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Poor snow structure apparent only on high north facing slopes in this area. Recent natural avalanches that were observed on 12-28 still visible, but blown in...</p>
Tons of new snow and drifting are creating dangerous conditions up high on north facing slopes with a buried persistent weak layer near the ground. I found good stability however, in areas that were bare of snow before snow started to accumulate in December.

- <p>Still probably a HIGH danger on upper elevation north facing slopes, but I stayed well clear of the steep slopes at the top of Providence Canyon</p>
Nice powder riding in low angled terrain
