Red Flags Comment
<p>Besides obvious poor snowpack structure most notable today were the multitude of BOOMING and traveling collapses. </p>

Still just a shallow, weak snowpack full of facets and weak crusts.

Instability Comment
<p>Faceted layer above stout crust is noteable. It's about 3-4 cm thick with the upper 2cm holding medium to large grain facets. </p>

Surface was powder but breakable crusts underfoot made for variable turning conditions. Punchy and droppy even on low angle terrain.
