- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Pockets of very isolated 2" wind slab noted, hardly worth a mention. Winds and decent refreeze kept much of wet activity at bay. Many steep lines skiied in stable snow on steep east and northeast terrain along the high ridgelines. Other potential red flags included party size, yet all were competent and confident with communication and snow/avalanche experience. </p>

- Instability Comment
- <p>Significant cornices noted along Ogden skyline. </p> <p><strong>Even "no red flags" is information as well.</strong> With this many, felt obliged to have a snow, weather, avalanche conditions, and route options discussion before we launched at 630am. Hx noted by Brandt, Wewer, and others. Route splintered into three groups at one point with two independent groups skiing down from the Willard shoulder into Cutler Creek, the other continuing up Willard, descending the steep east ramps into the upper Black Creek. </p>
Supportable, immature corn, spongy wind buff, and something altogether less complimentary than that.
