- Red Flags Comment
- <p>While the wind loads and poor snow pack structure ( 5" on a 2-4" crust beneath sugar) seem ghastly the depth is just not enough to make it terrifying. Poked our way into avy terrain with out a single collapse, or evidence of recent activity. This on both NE and SW aspects. Would still be wary of steep NE facing terrain.</p>
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>N, NE, aspects...be wary of shallow wind slab features where rocks, stumps and convex features capture wind blown snow.</p>
Shallow. Thin crust on top of depth hoar. Anchored by trees and rocks if it was deeper would pose a serious risk. Snow pack over large areas is disconnected due to wind drift. Warmer temps have not increased bonding.
