Very dangerous conditions in North Creek and Upper Indian Creek drainages where obvious avalanche paths exist.

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Wet snow on top of poor bottom layer.</p>

Wet top layer over 20 inches of snow. Bottom 12 inches is very loose and non cohesive. Sufficient rain at the Dalton Springs trailhead and Buckboard CG/ elevations below 9500 feet to saturate and reduce snowpack depth.
