Quick report
- Red Flags Comment
- <p>No red flags in my travels today, there was just enough cloud cover to keep the wet snow activity from getting too out of hand.</p>
A quick trip up the highway today to look around and not much in the way of wet activity. The partly cloudy skies helped keep a lid on the wet snow issue and some of the terrain I traveled in was pretty quiet and just some old sluffing from the Monday storm.
There was good supportable riding conditions and the recent snow has settled out nicely. Riders are able to move around quite easily and starting to see more tracks off the beaten path.
This would be the type of slope I would still be a little cautious around where it has stayed shallow all season and not sure if it has avalanched this year.

- <p>I only saw a very limited amount of terrain today and did not observe much in the way of wet activity, the recent snow still needs some time to go through a few melt freeze cycles.</p> <p>Felt like low hazard conditions, but not sure if we reached the point of forgetting about the persistent weak snow near the bottom of the snow pack. Might need to dig around some more and see how the snow structure is looking. </p>
The Monday storm snow has settled out and I was finding generally damp snow with some areas that are protected from direct sun had nice dense snow. Conditions are spring like with good supportable snow and easy to get around on sleds, but the exits can get soft and unsupportable.
