Red Flags Comment
<p>I did feel one collapse in the snowpack at about 7700 ft elevation</p>

HS = 255cm

A CTE was reactive at 225cm (Storm snow interface)

CTM was reactive at 210cm

ECTX

Im a bit suspect of these results I will play it safe and continue to investigate as the next storm and week develops.

Instability Comment
<p>Plenty of wind on higher ridges. Lots of area were wind protected, so I imagine wind will be a variable problem in the area</p> <p>Snowinng most of the morning, seemed to clear up a bit in the afternoon</p>

as expected the lower elevations below 8000ft the snow was heavier and had a crust on top

Above 8000ft it was light powder, over the hood type of riding.
