Red Flags Comment
<p>Structure in the area was poor on northerly facing slopes. 10,000'-11,000' northerlies HS ranges from 80cm to 180cm. Limited AST, but with high winds, anything left was blowing around a little bit, as was the new afternoon snow. Limited isolated collapsing. Observed some recent avalanches, dates unknown. See associated avalanche obs.</p>
