Red Flags Comment
<p>New snow preserved January NSF and it'll begin getting tricky once it starts storming and a slab forms on top.</p>

Obsure, low angle terrian with no old tracks or wind funk offers fine riding conditions

Thursday's east and northeast winds blasted big, open terrain, blowing upslope and sculpting snow in the wind zone like in the image above.

<p>Moving forward we'll want to keep an eye on the upcoming weather pattern change and track how much water, wind, and snow stacks up on top of a tricky, pre-existing snowpack</p> <p> </p> <p>The new low density snow sluffs easily on sustained steep slopes. Not a problem unless you're in steep, committing terrain</p>

Nice reset for the eastern front with 9" of snow stacking up on the North Slope.
