- Red Flags Comment

Tough to pick out, but a handful of natural slides during last weekends storm cycle on steep west and northwest facing slopes, particularly on the leeward side of steep breakovers in the Upper Chalk Creek zone.

- <p>Top of my shovel handle represents where the December drought layer is located. I'm finding the slab more stubborn to my stability tests.</p>
Recent winds have gotten into a lot of terrain and there's a stout wind board in the alpine. Though soft, settled snow is still found in sheltered terrain
