Quick report

Red Flags
Recent Avalanches, Heavy Snowfall, Wind Loading, Collapsing, Poor Snowpack Structure

Overall more stable than I expected....not saying much with a sample size of 1 group on low angle terrain. Did have a ECT-N 17 at about 30cm. The best I can assume is it's really spatially variable out there overall.

Instability Comment
<p>Not much to say that anyone out today didn't notice- it was windy, especially close to ridgelines and above 9500'. Definitely picked up in the afternoon too. </p> <p>I couldn't get the December pwl to fail without a good pull from my shovel (and it wasQ3) but with increasing slab conditions on top of it from new snow and wind until it's buried it presents an increasingly less predictable hazard. </p>
