Quick report
- Red Flags Comment
- <p>No red flags noted in my travels, there could be some very isolated wind drifts along the exposed ridge lines, but I was not finding any sensitive snow issues. </p>
1. Generally 18-28" around the Whitney basin with enough snow for some ok riding, but not too many folks are getting real serious with the usual early season hazards still lurking under the thin snow cover.
The south facing slopes have gotten quite thin and will need some good storms to build up a decent base.
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>The winds were light along the ridge lines and I did not observe any wind transport today. The snow pack seems pretty quiet right now until a change in weather and it looks like a storm next week. </p>
The small storm from Wednesday deposited around 2-3" in the upper Whitney area and that is resting on top of the old weak faceted snow from the long stretch of clear weather.
