- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Lots of old crowns and decent piles of debris from the last big storm cycle. Snow, wind, and time have filled in a lot of crowns, but you get the sense the drainage experienced a widespread natural avy cycle.</p>
The Wasatch is lookin' mighty white and phat :)

- <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Old news, but impressive none-the-less.... a large piece of snow in upper Gad Valley triggered with avalanche reduction efforts. Clearly illustrates just how well connected this slab was.</p>
Soft settled creamy snow on a spongy, reboundable base. Excellent turning conditions with just a slight wind pat on exposed slopes in the alpine. Surface snow is faceting, providing great skiing now, but is quite weak and could be a potential problem with a warm, wet storm in store for the weekend.
