Red Flags Comment
<p>Overall red flags where minimal in the terrain we travelled in. But there where multiple recent avalanches. So although the snow might feel good, there is still poor snowpack structure. </p>

We did not get ECT results on the standard taps. But a hard hit produced and ECTP32 failing on the Feb 13 interface. There are facets in the bottom half of the snowpack, but they are showing signs of strengthening.

Instability Comment
<p>There is poor structure and recent avalanches failing on buried persistent weak layers. While this recent storm system put a sizable amount of snow that will help heal these layers over time, we are not out of the water yet. </p> <p>At upper elevations the wind was transporting snow.</p>

Generally good riding conditions where found.
