Quick report
- Red Flags
- Collapsing, Poor Snowpack Structure
Coverage is thin and the snow is shark infested, particularly on the ridge up to 10420. Below Guardsman Pass, the logs are not well covered and there are rocks lurking just below the surface. We skinned up through the woods but elected to ski the road back down. No overhead hazard on the road owing to lack of snow depth.

- <p>We experienced repeated whumpfing while skinning up through the trees on the W & WNW aspects to Guardsman's Pass. The snow pack was upside down and about 12"-16" deep. Also experienced whumpfing on the NE ridge of 10420 above Guardsman Pass.</p> <p>Windslab on the ridgeline above Guardsman Pass.</p>
