- <p>No real concerns for stability today. I expect that to change this weekend as we potentially put 2+ inches of water onto the current snowpack and tip the scale towards high danger and widespread instability especially on north-ne aspects </p>
Poor structure but little to no energy or propagation potential. No noticeable slab potential.
Another pit just around the corner into flanagans on a more northerly aspect and slightly slower elevation (9600'). Much worse structure than on the NW aspect in east bowl. Larger and more developed depth hoar. Still no cohesive slab or propagation
Snowpack
Southerly aspects held a slight sun crust with a few inches of loose new snow atop it. Moving around the compass onto northerly aspects held a few inches of new snow and loose near surface facets. Within sheltered areas, pockets of ~1cm surface hoar still exist.
