- Poor Snowpack Structure
- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Nothing noted but continued poor structure. Very minor sluffing in the recent storm snow. </p>
General snowpack structure has the recent settled 8" storm snow of graupel and other slightly weakening pps above either the pre-frontal 2" hard wind crust or 1" sun crust. East-southeast presented as decent structure with some 4F+ facets beneath a deeper crust, see below. Mostly academic in nature.
Avalanches with the upcoming storm likely at new/old interface or within storm snow, possibly gouging to old crusts and potentially stepping down to old snow facets; particularly on repeater paths.
Snowpack
Soft and surfy with 3-5mm SH feathers noted on many slopes. Some southerlies had a zipper crust from Tuesday's sun.
