- Red Flags Comment
- <p>The snowpack is in the process of transitioning from a dry to a wet regime on all but high N. Percolation channels have been found recently on E-S-W draining free water to the ground. Also noticed many new glide cracks starting to form in unusual places as well as the usual places.</p>
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Widespread WL cycle on NE-SE aspects to D2 (terrain dependant), running long and gouging into older layers on NE and E below 8500ft. These were starting as high as 10500ft on SE w/ski initiation. </p> <p>The question is: Will the upper or mid-pack faceted layers (mid February and early January, respectively) that have remained dormant for so long begin to act up during this transition?</p>
