Red Flags Comment
<p>I only saw a couple smaller slides coming off expected locations such as below cliff bands. However they are wet slides and if you get caught in one consequences are high. It didn't freeze for a few days and it seemed to get even hotter today. It doesn't look like we will get a deep freeze tonight and tomorow is forcasted to be another warm day. I would imagine the cooling tonight will not drasically stabilize our wet and weak snowpack and tomorrow could have similar hazard to today. </p>

<p>I would assume that we need a solid refreeze before our potential for wet avalanches decreases.</p>

The snow was supportable and softened nicely on skis where I traveled on low angle south and north facing terrain. I skied in Alta in the afternoon and noticed the snow got even slushier than the day before. Fun spring skiing.
