- <p>The only red flags seen were on the ridges. The new snow has bonded well to the old 'ice pack'. </p>

Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>The only issue I observed today is the wind loading from the strong west winds. These were quite sensitive. </p> <p>Super large cornices on the ridges, it is difficult to tell where the earth ends and the snow starts. </p>
Super light density snow on all of the protected areas, nice turning. At 7800 ft. the storm snow has settle to around 15 inches on the old pack which is now mostly frozen ice. Strong west wind on the ridges.
