- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Lots of wind loading and natural avalanches d1-d2 along the skyline trail. Rain/ice crust about 40cm down is creating a vapor barrier promoting rapid development of large facets which are continuing to grow beneath, as well as providing a 'great' bed surface for new snow to slide on.</p>
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Definitely a lurking loaded gun. Snowpack structure is touchy and avalanches will be large and destructive if triggered. </p> <p>Lots of loading and obvious signs of instability from the winds during the last storm. </p>
Snow surface conditions ranged from small surface hoar to wind scoured terrain, and wind loaded terrain. ski conditions were surprisingly decent.
