Red Flags Comment
<p>High RH ECTP21Q1 at 60 cm West 8770'. CTM13Q3 on depth hoar just above ground West 8600'. Hand pits showing easy to moderate pulls with the damp snow coming off. Also had two ECTX's in the same area so choose your terrain wisely. Slab building over facets. Some roller balls forming.</p>

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>If it doesn't get cold tonight and the sun comes out tomorrow I expect rapid warming and some push-alanches and maybe reactivating some of those loose facets. Picture of facets below.</p>

Becoming more damp as the day wore on. Below the top 20 cm of damp snow there was loose facets making for some punchy riding conditions.
