Red Flags
Recent Avalanches, Poor Snowpack Structure
Red Flags Comment
<p>Seems like the red flags are coming down. Many slopes have avalanched in the natural cycle of Dec 23rd. However there is still a fairly shallow snowpack in some areas (&lt;3'). Deep snow is safe snow they say.</p> <p>Sluffing on steep slopes within the new snow did not really get running.</p>

only dug one quick pit today on top of the big water/solider ridge. snow was surprisingly shallow. Facets are rounding.

Much more relaxing skiing the slide path.

Instability Comment
<p>The persistent deep slab is lurking out there somewhere.</p>

Light new snow through out the area traveled today. Cold temps have preserved the snow quite well.
