Quick report
- Red Flags Comment
- <p>There were gusty winds today and some snow being blown and drifted, but it seemed like the warm temperatures kept some of the snow glued in place and I only observed a few places where some fresh wind drifts would crack, but not deep or wide. </p>
Winds have been on the increase and starting to change the landscape with some snow being transported onto the leeward side of slopes. Some of this drifted snow would crack in front of sleds and skis and these drifts might be a bit more connected tomorrow.
Looking across at some of the high elevation terrain of the High Uintas and to me it has the look of the upper elevations of Colorado where they get lots of wind and not much snow.

- <p>The winds today were beginning to change the landscape and drift and transport some of the recent snow. It did not appear that the drifted snow was real sensitive, but I did get some to crack but not too deep or connected. If winds continue overnight there could be a few slopes where a drift or two could be triggered. </p>
