Red Flags Comment
<p>No evidence of red flags. Lots of people skiing in the Days Fork with no clear signs of instability. Sloughing on steeper slopes was minimal.</p>

Not sure how to categorize it, but I would say the main concern was spatial variability and depth of snow. In Two Dogs, I found the depth of the pack to range from 80 cm to 195 cm. A few other skiers uncovered a few rocks here and there. Depth hoar at the base of the pack. I did an ECT at the bottom of Two Days and the top of Upper Days. Both were ETCX - no failure. Skiing Upper Days, we started in nice creamy snow and transitioned to about 8 inches over wind slab. It was bonded well enough, but the inconsistent loading patterns from the prior wind were apparent all day.

Shady aspects still skiing really well, Southern aspects moving from creamy to not quite gloppy at the end of the day.
