Red Flags Comment
<p>I'm not convinced the facets have gained that much strength. Still seeing full propagation in nearly all pits, I think they have just adjusted well to the current load. Continued clear nights and shallow snow may lead to increased faceting.</p>

5 pits with ECT's in this area, scores ranged from ECTP8 to ECTX

Instability Comment
<p>Low likelihood of trigger but very high consequence if you find an avalanche. Watch close with next significant load to see which direction the snow pack goes.</p>

Surface Hoar growing well on most aspects.  Thin wind slab <2cm over NSF below that.
