- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Wind loading was the main red flag I was keeping an eye on since the half an inch of water didn’t seem like enough to activate deeper week layers in the terrain I was heading to (it was in other terrain, see below).</p>
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Stomped on some obvious drifts and wind loaded test slopes, but did not get results. However, I was never in super wind loaded terrain, no doubt you could have found a sensitive wind slab or two today. </p> <p>Saw on natural off a steep wind loaded repeater (4 eagle bowl). Steep, thin, and rocky, right where you would expect. Digging in mid elevation northerly showed most faceted weak layers to be healing.</p>
6” at 8500’ with 0.4” of water at 11 am. Another 2” during the day (didn’t measure water). Snow stayed cold most aspects, but brief periods of filtered sunshine got to the lower mid elevation south.
