Sunny skies, light winds, and warm temps. Unreal to have the AC on for my drive back to Salt Lake.

Snow Characteristics

Damp

Snow Characteristics Comments

Moist snow atop varying degrees of consistently, inconsistent supportability. Traveling around Wolf Creek yesterday I thought to myself... "pretty surreal, this upper elevation, solar slope should be deep and phat with snow. Instead it's starting to look more like June than March."

Red Flags

Poor Snowpack Structure

Red Flags Comments

Lack of solid refreeze for multiple nights is the biggest red flag.
