Red Flags Comment
<p>Peter and Tom looked carefully (10x loop) at the interface between the uppermost crust sandwich facets. Mild concern shown on their faces. We recreated on 30 degree minus slopes.</p>

Numerous folks out and about today while I had the honor of touring with T. Kimbrough and Peter Lev.

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Received CT 14-15 Q2 consistently either between the crust sandwich or below the sandwich. Propagation results inconsistent. Red flag for us.</p>

Depths of powder ranged from 6" to 12" lying on a firm supportable foundation. Not once did we penetrate with skis into the crusts below. Wind effect of existing powder surface was zero in our travels except for the uppermost 50-100' of vertical on ridges and summits.
