Red Flags Comment
<p>Triggered one large collapse or whumpf on NE @ 8400'. Localized cracking and collapsing up to two feet around my skis. Sinking deeply into saturated sugary (quicksand-like) snow even with skis on</p>

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Im concerned about wet slab in areas with poor snow structure and a melt-softening slab, and wet loose avalanches entraining deep sodden snow in steep terrain. I will feel better about things after nighttime temperatures drop well below freezing for a while.</p>

Horrible, survival skiing in un-compacted terrain, because you'd sink deeply into soft saturated snow
