Quick report

Red Flags
Recent Avalanches, Heavy Snowfall, Wind Loading, Poor Snowpack Structure

Snow is slowly getting better in lower layers the snow just above the PWL has become extremely solid and bridging the facets making it difficult to cut down to them but all the new snow is holding ok but there was lots of natural releases in the steep terrain. However only 2 out out 10 test slopes either cracked or sluffed.
