Red Flags Comment
<p>Few signs of instability.... some cracking of drifts in exposed terrain</p>

We found nice shallow powder above about 8000' in sheltered low angled terrain. Significantly improved dust-on-crust elsewhere. On steeper slopes we scratched the crust with each turn and the crust was slippery while climbing across slopes or side-hilling.

Instability Comment
<p>It seems increasingly unlikely that a person could trigger a dangerous hard slab avalanche failing on a deeply buried PWL made up of faceted snow from December.</p>

Dust-on-crust, shallow powder in sheltered areas.  Best conditions on lower angled sheltered slopes...
