Red Flags Comment
<p>Only thing going on in the mid elevations is that it just snowed a lot, which was cause for caution, but in the end everything was really well behaved. </p>

Photos are of shallow new snow slides that likely occurred during high precip rates Monday afternoon. This was the only sign of recent activity we saw.

Instability Comment
<p>Not listing any real problems for meadows because there is no old faceted snow, it's been pretty protected from the wind, and any instabilities within the new snow seemed to have settled out. Could still notice a few density inversions in the new snow in a snow pit, but only dirty shears and no propagation due to the lack of a cohesive slab. </p>

Right side up. Settlement was noticeable throughout the day as the snow became a bit faster and more supportable.
