<p>Collapsing and cracking everywhere. All aspects and elevations. Collapsing due to poor structure mid/low elevations on shady aspects and within the storm snow otherwise. </p>

For winter 18/19, storms have been generally northwesterly and the recent snowpack has deteriorated at the mid and low elevations. Cutbanks ran w provocation. Wallowing general.

Visibility poor to note what widespread activity has occurred. Still, collapsing and cracking to 300’ noted even at low elevations. Natural noted at entrance to Provo Canyon.
