Poor Snowpack Structure
Red Flags Comment
<p>Widespread Loose Dry Avalanches and Sluffing easy to induce on any terrain with angles greater than 30 degrees. Monday nights storm has faceted and this appeared to be the culprit weak layer in the Loose Dry activity. As reported from Tuesday's tour, the structure is still very poor, variable, and complicated. </p>

Instability Comment
<p>Several weak layers exist in the pack in multiple locations, and on many aspects. At this point in time there is not signficant load. </p> <p>Loose Dry as reported above could knock you off your feet and push you into unfriendly terrain in consequential terrain. </p> <p> </p> <p>Danger appeared to be Low today, and may escalate to Moderate with daytime heating and Solar forecast for Friday prompting Wet Loose Activity in pm. </p>

No significant wind damage in new snow. Riding conditions continue to improve with additional new snow and various crusts breaking down. Best riding in areas that were protected from last weeks wind event. As well, Low angle SSW through W aspects had a bottomless feeling and very good riding.
