Red Flags Comment
<p>Even though it's spring time there is a lot-0-new snow and a lot wind to blow it around. Things will change quickly with the strong sun but at least for me it is not a "ski it if it's white" kinda senario right now.</p>

Would say danger is moderate trending to low but totally aspect dependent.

Instability Comment
<p>Density inversion in the new snow sitting on a moderately supportable layer. It's not like there is some great big deep slab instability out there but there are wind pillows/cookies/biscuits waiting for a trigger.</p>

New powder and grauple sitting on damp under layer.

Snow below the surface is isothermic and damp.
