- Instability Comment
- <p>We didn't get on anything in the 40 degree range other than the explosive controlled Mt Ogden area, which is still considered backcountry these days, and needs a backcountry level of caution. The many significant crowns show the potential instability that was exhibited a few days ago.</p> <p>There are some huge cornices out there, especially above 9000'. Its difficult to tell how far back they could break. </p>
Good conditions in general. Sunhit slopes are getting sun affected, and may need some sun softening, but not too much sun, to be reasonable.
