Red Flags Comment
<p>Any slope we traveled on with old snow from October/November collapsed. We observed numerous shooting cracks on any wind loaded terrain. No recent avalanches were observed but visibility was poor and thin coverage is keeping everyone on the road. </p>

Snowpack

In the wind zone there was significant wind loading with 18"-24" Deep 1F slabs in wind deposited areas. Out of the wind zone 6"-10" of new snow with some graupel.
