- Red Flags Comment
- <p>The poor structure is there we just again lack slab where we travelled. Cold clear nights and days seemed to have broked down the slab layed down by the christmas storm. The surface is now rotten weak sugar snow.</p>
Snowpit is North facing at 10,000ft (upper BCC)
CT17 Q1 Failing on Depth Hoar at the ground (HS 110cm)
Back to back ECT yielded ECTX
No results in the ECT indicate no slab. Once we do get a load we could potentially see avalanches step down to our weak snow at the ground...

- <p>If you could find a slab in the more exposed terrain you could possibly still buy an avalanche. This could be in areas more exposed to the wind in the upper elevation terrain.</p>
Mixed bag of snow conditions out there today. Pretty rough traveling and skiing on all aspects we traveled. Found some decent skiing on faceted loose grains in upper Cardiff Fork but any terrain exposed to the wind had an unsupportable wind board. The south side was damp on our exit.
