Quick report

Red Flags
Wind Loading, Cracking, Poor Snowpack Structure

A grab bag of dense new and wind slab. Cracking in abundance.

More snow and wind over the next 24+ hours and I imagine the avalanche danger will elevate further going into the weekend.

Instability Comment
<p>Harrowing winds from the S-SW this morning, depositing a mix of rain and snow and creating dense wind slabs above a poor snowpack structure. </p> <p>This morning was warm, and the wet new created a very dense layer of snow on top of lighter snow/facets, which I imagine will be of concern in the near future and perhaps the rest of the season. </p>
