Quick report
- Red Flags Comment
- <p>No real red flags. Because the snow fell with very little wind and was so light density, there just wasn't enough of a slab. The old snow surface was consolidated and locked up from the warm temperatures early in the day.</p>
Photo is of dry loose activity in steep N facing.
Hazard tomorrow depends entirely on how much snow overnight and whether winds stay calm or not. If things continue as forecast anticipate at mostly moderate hazard, with pockets of considerable on the highest peaks. If winds bump up or we get a lot more snowfall, may be a more widespread considerable.
