Red Flags Comment
<p>Other than fresh natural (and triggered) loose dry avalanches, we did not encounter any red flags</p>

We found very nice shallow powder and dust-on-crust conditions. The new snow was prone to loose avalanching on steep slopes, but the avalanches were small and manageable.

Instability Comment
<p>We observed some fresh natural loose sluff activity on steep north facing slopes, and we easily triggered loose dry avalanches on steep sunny slopes.</p>

The new powder snow from yesterday was deeper down low, gradually becoming shallower as we climbed.
