Red Flags Comment
<p>No red flags observed today. Pretty quiet day with a few inches of medium density snow sitting atop a very hard crust on most slopes minus sheltered N. The sun didn't zap these slopes and there is no MF crust. </p>

Instability Comment
<p>I imagine there were small wind drifts building near the highest exposed ridges.</p>

Thick dust on crust conditions though we found pockets of blown in snow that felt deeper in sheltered N facing terrain, Solars were scrapey. Falling snow was stellars and stellars coated in graupel.
