Quick report

Red Flags
Recent Avalanches, Heavy Snowfall, Wind Loading, Rapid Warming

Overall snow was very stable and didn’t notice any major red flags that would apply for today. There was a Melt freeze crust that most likely appeared yesterday through the warm weather. Most of the wet loose avalanches were from yesterday or days prior. My biggest worry is this melt freeze crust when it gets a slab of new snow on top. Wind transport was very apparent and ramping up as the end of day began approaching.

<p>wet loose avalanches were very apparent from the ridge line. Most appeared to be from yesterday and a lot had ski tracks near or on them.</p>
