- Red Flags Comment
- <p>New snow bonded well to old rain crust. Wind slabs were sensitive and felt hollow. They collapsed and cracked on low angle slopes. I dropped 4 inches with collapse as I stepped on one wind pillow.</p>
Multiple hand pits revealed a good bond between new and old snow surfaces in areas unaffected by wind.
1-Cracking in wind slab.
2-Wet slab.
Considerable, maybe high danger on high elevation wind loaded slopes. Moderate hazard in wind sheltered areas.

- <p>Yep they are out there. Watch for them. More wind and any new snow will worsen this problem.</p> <p>Saw a probable wet slab on lower elevation sun exposed slope.</p>
Dense wind pack in exposed areas. Best snow at lower elevation in protected areas.
