As expected, north and west aspects are still in good shape, but I was a bit surprised to see big pinwheels on the south facing slopes today; it was warmer than I expected, and had I made a commitment to ski out a south-facing exit (ie skiing Days and needing to exit Flagstaff/Cardiff) I would have gotten nervous in the afternoon of potentially triggering a wet slab. I haven't really analyzed the structure of the south facing snowpack, but the amount of change that happened in the last two weeks and the warm temps (and higher on Friday) would make me nervous, especially since I've gotten bit more than once by a "oh it's midwinter; there's not that much solar effect!" theory that got proven wrong by triggering Dec/Jan wet slabs. If I were the UDOT gang I'd be watching Superior etc very closely Friday afternoon.

However, highish north seems to have locked into place; ski cuts in mildly-wind-affected terrain did nothing today. Tho we weren't in the most-exposed areas like Red Baldy, No Name, etc, Red Pine Lake shot, etc which would probably have a bit more wind-effect.
