Quick report

Red Flags
Heavy Snowfall, Poor Snowpack Structure

Heard at least one avalanche, presumably new snow but didn't check to see where it ran or how far, presumably one of the gullies. Just submitting this for info purposes, don't really have enough data/etc. to put it up on the site under observations. I'm sure I will have better obs from down that way in the next few weeks.

Instability Comment
<p>Much more snow in the canyon than I was expecting from this last storm- at least a foot on the floor of the canyon. Given how little snow has been there I think it safe to say the danger will only go up with any new storm or significant wind/warming events. </p>
