Red Flags Comment
<p>None. Did experience one localized collapse along the PC ridgline proper above South Monitor but would not "count it" per se: total depth there in this wind stripped area was 16" - a bit of wind drifted soft slab over 10" of facets.</p>

Instability Comment
<p>What we found along the PC ridge: in many cases, the "slab" is now generally 3' thick or more and considered a hard slab - pencil hard above 4F+ facets. No collapsing or cracking noted or expected. This layering may be more unstable in shallower rocky terrain, particularly along the periphery of the Cottonwoods and in Provo.</p> <p> </p> <p>Expect wet loose on solars in the coming days with warming temps...and variable cloud cover.</p>

Glorious.
