- Red Flags Comment
- <p>The only red flag observed was the wind loading in exposed terrain.</p>
Our ECT produced an ECTN 26 at 184cm. This test failed on a very thin layer of facets. I would assume this occurred during a break between storms.
The amount of snow being transported and new snow starting to fall was the biggest concern I have for tomorrow's conditions. It would seem like wind-drifted snow could become a big concern in exposed terrain.
Snowpack
You could find a wide range of snow conditions.
Any aspect that received sun on Friday had anywhere from a thin zipper crust to a stout sun crust. Any aspect that received wind had a breakable wind crust Sun and wind-sheltered slopes still had preserved powder.
