Red Flags Comment
<p>It was not as reactive as I expected considering the snow density, the overall snowpack level and the density of the new snow. Hopefully bodes well for the lower layers rounding out in the next few weeks. I've added some pictures but am not going to comment about specific problems, I did some hand test and we tried to collapse a few cornices around Twin Pass area but didn't take an extensive look at anything. There are plenty of rocks and bushes still sticking out and all indicators point to being cautious and conservative with the weak snowpack. </p>

Snowpack

Variable snow conditions, most of it was heavy for the Wasatch but 'surfy' and perfect for a splitboard. Patches of either loose windblown powder or wind scoured snow made up the rest.
