Red Flags Comment
<p>Poor structure but not a significant load on it in most locations. Heard a few collapses, observed lots of shallow cracking, and some deeper cracking (10 inches) in some areas. Plenty of wind loading.</p>

Deeper cracking observed in a small gully.

Shallow cracking.

Good riding. Still thin cover, a little brushy in spots.

Snowpack

Plenty of stiff wind drifts, but soft snow in the more protected locations.  There was about two feet of snow on the ground in most places.
