Red Flags Comment
<p>Several naturals on east facing slopes from Sunday/Monday. Snow assessment work has produced additional activity each day on upper elevation east facing. </p>

Avalanche danger observed is in the middle ground between moderate and considerable. As time goes the hazard is going to be less in your face, but based on what I observed today, the chance of triggering something on east will remain.

Instability Comment
<p>Avalanches on upper elevation east facing are failing on a layer of near surface facets formed prior to Christmas. Easy failures on ECT tests with full propagation. Have not been able to assess north facing slopes, but have not observed any natural activity on north facing. </p>

Good snow remains on easterly through northwesterly. Wind damage on many upper elevation slopes. Sun crusts on south.
