Quick report

Red Flags Comment
<p>A few shallow soft slabs on the leeward side of ridges and terrain around features... otherwise pretty straight-forward hazard especially in wind sheltered terrain.</p>

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>I found fresh wind drifts about 6"-10" deep, predictably breaking at or below my skis and easily managed by toning down the slope angle. As the morning wore on, drifts became less reactive.</p>

Travels took me for a quick rip in Upper BCC. Nice reset in the Brighton Basin with turning conditions vastly improving since Monday's initial shot of snow and water. Cold, spring storms in the Wasatch are a gift, but get out and get after it early because changes happen quick this time of year.
