- Red Flags Comment
- <p>It seems that our poor snowpack structure is beginning to heal itself over time. The only cracking we got was walking the emma ridgeline in the wind affected northerly facing terrain. </p>
Snowpack

- <p>We avoided high North and areas of obvious wind loading. These are still places were you could find an avalanche.</p>
By 2:30pm I measured 4.5" of new at 10,000ft. The upside down snowpack made for challenging skiing while rock dodging still added an element of excitement. Last weekends snow is starting to consolidate into a more uniform slab sitting on top of ~4" of facets. The snowpack is becoming moist as we were able to make snowballs out of both the slab and the faceted layer. All solar aspects contained a melt/freeze crust. Super low angle "meadow skippy" North was buttah!
