Quick observation from AF. I went down to mainly check snow depths and see how much sled activity is taking place. There is enough snow to ascend on a sled from the Tibble Fork lot as well as the Timpanooke lot.

A mechanical issue limited my travel once I was up near the Ant Knolls but I did spend the afternoon skiing in one of the drainages. The snowpack was around 4 feet deep and looked as good as anywhere I've seen. Oldest facets near the ground had a hand hardness of near 1 finger and were moist. I saw nothing alarming at this location. Enough so that I felt comfortable skiing a few rollovers that were steeper than 35 degrees, albeit they were short without much consequence.

While I found good stability in the one location I was at today, I would say that the overall snowpack across the Central Wasatch is a bit unnerving. Another human triggered avalanche was reported from Wilson Glade today. I was there in early December and observed quite weak snow so not too surprised. However, I would've thought the area I was in today should've been weaker than what I found. I'm eager to compare Wilson Glade with what I found in AF.

What do you call the overall danger? It's a tough situation with lots of spacial variability. I'm not exactly sure. Somewhere between Moderate and Considerable. The trend is toward better stability but areas of concern still exist.
