Quick report

We found less new snow than we expected and a solid snowpack at low elevations in the Rick's Spring Area of Logan Canyon.

The avalanche danger in this area was low today, with stable snow and avalanches unlikely.

Instability Comment
<p>We didn't have any problems with wind-drifted snow because there was only a few inches of accumulation in this area from yesterday's storm. The shallow drifts in the area were not reactive. </p> <p> </p>

The shallow new snow was well settled and getting a bit heavy in the sun.  It was lighter in north-facing terrain.  We found the best shallow powder and dust-on-crust conditions on low-angled slopes.
