Red Flags Comment
<p>The snow pack is getting past bad to terrible. </p>

The danger is mostly low as most of the slopes are faceted with only weak slabs, Snowmobiles have tested some of the steep slopes with no evidence of slides. There maybe some loaded slopes that have MODERATE RISK and taking a ride in a slide would be like a cheese grater over rocks and logs.

<p>Did see two loose snow avalanches on a SE aspect in the upper bowls of Nebo</p>

All over the map from supportable wind slabs to facets to the ground
