Quick report

Not a whole lot of red flags out there today but still not green light conditions. I feel like you could still get a large unmanageable avalanche in a area with a thinner, weaker snow pack in just the right place. Cornices were less reactive today than in the past few days and still got no result from them on slopes that I tested. Outside the headwaters of LCC and BCC are where I would suspect an avalanche. Lambs, Provo, Ogden, Logan and Unitias are all suspect areas for me currently.

Snowpack

The new snow has settled a fair bit in the last few days. Sun was getting to south,west and east to some extent at most elevations. Fairly widespread distribution of surface hoar out there today although I traveled in areas where it is typically found. Something though to keep a eye on once it gets burred.
