Red Flags Comment
<p>The biggest red flag today was the numerous recent avalanches from this past storm cycle, including a partially filled-in avalanche on the NE-facing terrain in West Williow that occurred at some point in the last storm cycle. We didn't experience any collapsing or cracking today although most of the terrain we traveled in was S facing. </p>

Instability Comment
<p>Poor structure, ECTPV results, and recent avalanches failing on the PWL point to the PWL being our main concern. </p>

Great powder skiing on most aspects. South aspects started to take on some heat in the afternoon and developed a thin crust.
