Cracking, Poor Snowpack Structure
Red Flags Comment
<p>Some cracking anywhere I found some wind crust but not going anywhere without a load on top of it. Of course the poor snowpack structure is still present just waiting for a load to tilt the scale. This past week all of my tests in the 8500'-9000' NW-N slopes were ECTX with mostly 4F facets on the lower end of the snowpack. Overall LOW Danger today.</p>

Snowpack

It seems most of the Surface hoar has turned into surface or Near Surface Faceting. Riding conditions are fun and fast if you can find a place with no tracks in wind sheltered NW-NE facing slopes. Boot penetration was up to the knee. So if the wind picks up we have alot for transport.
