- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Just a few very isolated lingering wind drifts that would still crack, but they were quite stubborn to move. These were just off the ridge lines. The snow pack structure is still a red flag, but generally things are quite relaxed and not reactive with stability tests. </p>
The snow pack in the Gold Hill area is a little less consolidated than other areas and might be a place where a load of new snow would see avalanche activity. The layer of sugary faceted snow sitting on top of the early season crust is still dry and large in size.

- Instability Comment
- <p>The snow pack appears to be fairly relaxed for the time being, but with a change in weather approaching, the weak sugary snow near the ground could come back to life. </p>
Yesterday's 1-2" of new snow with a fair amount of grauple mixed in smoothed the conditions in places, but much of the terrain has frozen hard tracks. Lets hope the upcoming storms will improve the riding and turning.
