Weather Comments
Thought we might be late getting into Butler Basin but cold temps and breeze were forgiving. S/SE off Gobbler's into Butler Basin offered perfect velvet on Monday's 1-2" above the weekend's lock up.

Red Flags Comments
No red flags. The weekend's lockup after the Thurs/Friday wet cycle will likely keep us with generally new snow instabilities in all but isolated terrain.
Comments
