- Wind Loading, Cracking, Poor Snowpack Structure
- Red Flags Comment
- <p>New snow forming stiff wind slabs along upper elevation, easterly facing ridgelines cracking up to a foot deep but averaging 8" . Softer slabs developing on all upper elevation aspects where cross loading is a factor. Not bonding well with easy shear at old snow interface. Underlying pack remains weak with numerous faceted layer and crust combinations.</p>

- Instability Comment
- <p>Cracking on upper elevation, east facing ridge line up to a 1' deep.</p> <p>10" wind slab over riding facet/crust/facet combination on WSW aspect.</p> <p>Poor snow pack structure and easy shear beneath new wind slab.</p> <p>Pit profile and CT demonstrate that persistent slab remains a concern on W-N-E aspects.</p>
2"-5" of new snow, elevation dependent.
