Red Flags Comment
<p>Poor Snowpack Structure remains. Average HS on shady slopes is about 35-40cm with a max depth of 55cm. Foot pen is almost to the ground, it's becoming a sandbox out there. Beneath the most recent snow (12/13) I found faceted grains in every layer of the pack. </p>

Instability Comment
<p>Low hazard for now, but with future loading events we will see the danger rise significantly. </p>

The surface hoar that has been previously observed is gone, thanks to warm temperatures and cloud cover. I traveled mainly on shady slopes today and did not see any SH. 

The photo below shows the coverage (or lack thereof) on the solar aspects.
