- Red Flags Comment
- <p>No noteable red flags other than the warm up and new snow getting it's first hit of direct sun. </p>
1. Spring time riding, following the snow line as it moves up the highway. 2. Nice early morning riding with about 8" of fresh medium density snow in the Whitney Basin.
East through south facing slopes had minor natural wet loose sluffs. A slight southeast breeze kept the wet activity to a minimum.
On the high north facing slopes, it stayed cool with the frosted trees and very nice cold powder like snow.

- Instability Comment
- <p>Very minor wet issues in our travels, a few natural point release wet sluffs on east through south facing slopes, but not getting out of hand. </p> <p>Really not much in the way of reactive wind drifts, very minor cracking of shallow wind drifting snow along the high ridge lines. </p>
Cold dry snow early this morning with about 8" from the Thursday and Friday storm. South and east facing slopes were getting damp and unstable with minor wet loose sluffs around mid morning. The high north facing terrain had nice cold fresh snow that rode great into the afternoon. Not too warm today, so conditions did not get out of hand with wet issues.
