Red Flags

Poor Snowpack Structure

Red Flags Comments

Provo (as well as the Wasatch back) holds some of the "poorest" structure I've seen across the Wasatch, from Ogden to the Cottonwoods to Provo. Facets are sharp, dry, and remain Fist-hard. No collapsing or cracking noted. Would've expected a 'worse' PST result.
