Red Flags Comments
The new snow didn't change much in terms of stability - the snowpack is generally faceted with a few thin crusts. We found the weakest snow about 10 cm down below a thin MF crust. WIll have to wait and see if a slab develop with the potential incoming storms.

Comments
Found firm riding conditions in most places. In sheltered, shaded N facing terrain the snow was more forgiving and a bit softer. The mountains at least acted wintry today. Some more fresh snow would certainly improve the overall riding conditions.
