Red Flags Comment
<p>The wet activity has started on the due south facing slopes with some small point releases that quickly entrain a decent amount of snow as they move down hill. </p>

Some minor wet loose activity that looked to have started near some rocks that heated-up on an east facing slope on Moffit Peak.

The south facing slopes are really taking on some heat and the wet activity has increased the last few days.

Instability Comment
<p>With another warm day tomorrow and a poor refreeze tonight, I would suspect more wet loose activity on both east through west facing slopes. </p> <p>This problem is likely getting more isolated with time, but there might still be some areas that have a thin weak snow pack ( steep, rocky ) where a person could find the right weak spot on the slope. </p>

The high elevation north facing slopes are still riding and turning quite well with nice settled dense snow. Any change in aspect and you quickly pick-up damp snow or a melt-freeze crust.
