Red Flags Comment
<p>The only red flag was the amount of snow we have recieved in the last few days. Suprised not to see any avalanche activity while out.</p>

Couldn't find much of a concern on the ground today. Dug quite a few hand pits to look for rotten snow on the ground on NE-SE aspects. Was only seeing an inconsistent moist layer of small grain facets, only about 3-8cm at most, not consistent to any aspect.

Instability Comment
<p>Not of major concern, but there was a failure on CT and ECT on a density change in the snow. Only about 35cm of light density snow above the Q3 break. Expect this to heal fairly quickly.</p> <p>In steeper terrain I could see some of the new snow stuffing, but also not a major concern.</p>

Very light density snow on top. Saw some slight wind affect along ridge lines with inconsistent soft wind slabs here and there
