Red Flags Comments
Despite quite a bit of new snow and some wind we saw less obvious red flags than anticipated. Didn't really notice much cracking / collapsing and weren't really able to get anything to move around on small test slopes. We dug a quick pit and measured a total depth of 165 cm. We measured 25cm of fresh storm snow and got an ECTN3 at the interface between the most recent storm snow and older snow. A few less scientific attempts also didn't yield any propagation.
