Red Flags Comment
<p> Warm temperatures and wind events seem to have strengthened the slab, but not the weak facets on the ground.</p>

Pit dug near crown of 11/23 remotely triggered slide. Photo below. Note the cracking of the lower angle slope.

Spotted another slide across Hidden Canyon, probably a few days old. Approximately 9,600', northeast facing. Trigger unknown - animal, natural, person?

Instability Comment
<p>Still with us - doesn't seem to be any progress in the faceted snow strengthening.</p>

Snow surface mostly crusts, supportable on northerly facing slopes.  Clouds reduced heating, and many crusts not softening. Some soft snow on wind sheltered slopes.
