Red Flags Comment
<p>Observed dozens of natural shallow soft slab avalanches in Beaver Canyon that likely occurred overnight Thur-Fri with high PI. Observed cracking in the new snow. </p>

We stayed in low-angle terrain all day due to HIGH avalanche danger. Limited visibility all day so only observed nearby activity and localized red flags.

Snowpack

Deep and slightly inverted with the top 4-6" being slightly higher density. Laborious trail breaking.  Lots of medium density soft snow sitting atop last weekend's well preserved graupel sitting atop a stout MF crust.
