General Observations

Transitional zone.  Lower and mid meadows around flower (up to 2500’) and out the Tsirku/Takhin river.  Friends report numerous low angle/below 1500’ natural avalanches out the Tsirku/Takhin river confluence yesterday.  Today took the sleds around flower today.  No natural activity.  But poor structure (weak layer/facets over a firm bed surface).  New snow is unconsolidated/lack of slab for now.  A conservative and vigilant approach to terrain selection is key.  Just because the stability seems good at the time, does not mean it is.  Especially with a big/wet storm inbound this weekend.
