Red Flags Comment
<p>Pretty much check all the boxes today. The Ogden hills were alive today with the sound of collapsing. Even on the previous skin track we were getting collapsing and shooting cracks. We took advantage of almost every test slope we came accross just to hear and feel the rolling thunder and see the cracks. </p>

Small wind drifts starting to form near the weather station.

Instability Comment
<p>The new heavy snow sits ontop of all the old garbage from earlier this year. </p>

Snow pack is thin even as high as the weather station. The summer trail is about the only clear approach and desent.
