Red Flags
Red Flag Comments:
Noted no red flags, but snow structure is poor.... Limp slab capping fist-hard facets in all areas with snow cover prior to mid January storms... There was still evidence of numerous natural or remote triggered avalanches from the big cycle (1-20/21-2012,) especially on lower knobs and in open meadows near the bottom of Garden City Canyon. Crowns and debris are still quite apparent and only have a few inches of settled accumulated snow on them since the event....
