Red Flags Comment
<p>We experienced collapsing throughout the day, particularly in the 9000-9600 elevation band on west aspects. Could feel facets at bottom of snowpack almost everywhere when testing with pole probing. The warm temperatures got the snow a bit wet and sticky by the end of the day and some very small pockets pulled out on the north aspect above Brumley creek on the tour out, which was surprising.</p>

<p>Facets are everywhere</p>

There was plenty of soft snow from the mid-week refresh. South faces were raked by the wind though.
