Quick report

Red Flags Comment
<p>No red flags today, but warm temperatures are beginning to soften mid and low elevation sunny slopes. Cornice falls might be a red flag with warm weather as observed in the Humpy area today.</p>

You do not want to be underneath when these huge cornices break. This one triggered a shallow storm slab as hit the slope.

Instability Comment
<p>The giant size cornices may be feeling the heat and it's hard to predict when these things will break?</p> <p>Did not travel into much low and mid elevation terrain where the warm wx is creating soft and wet snow conditions. </p>

Crusted slopes that are getting direct sun and dense settled dry snow on high protected north facing slopes.
