<p>avoid the steeper slopes.</p>

settlement cones showed 4"-5" of settlement since Sunday morning. The collapsing was impressive, shaking the snow off of branches. It was failing on the facet layer at the ground. Total snow depths are 24"-36". This snow is very similar to what we saw in the Provo mountains over the weekend. Facets at the ground with 2 light density storms on top. Didn't see any avalanche activity, but there have been very few humans in the area, and those that were there on the weekend stayed mostly on the road or rode on the low angle open areas. Snowmobiles can still push through to the ground and the skiing is like breaking trail in all directions up and down.
