Quick report

Red Flags Comment
<p>No red flags per se; clouds and touch of wind kept the wet activity mostly glued in. Very minor roller/balling and push/alanches noted. </p>

Interesting structure (to say the least) in top 40cm on north facing Cardiff Pass

3cm damp snow/graupel

6cm rain crust from April 7

rounding facets - this and graupel below make up significant hardness differential between crusts as noted in photo

graupel

20cm crust from March 22

Pics: already documented from past couple days of natural and human triggered sluffs

Will take a closer look at how this next storm is shaping up, but looking like a classic bread and butter storm for the Wasatch with only new snow instabilities. Which - for this year - is a nice thing.

Damp few inches from Sunday above Saturday's rain crust.  Quasi corn skiing.
