Red Flags Comment
<p>Experienced THE LARGEST collapse I've felt all season while working on a test slope. It 'whoomped' and I could hear the collapse travel away from me for about 2 seconds. Scary.</p>

Not good.........

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>With the snow from around the first and the new snow that fell over the last couple of days, we now have a significant slab over the old sugary weak snow. Collapsing and snow stability tests all point to an unstable snowpack.</p>

Very nice new snow.  If these conditions stay like this, it will lure people into dangerous terrain I suspect.  Very good riding conditions.
