- Red Flags Comment
- <p>The latest storm dumped about 24" of new snow with a lot of water content which added a heavy load to a weak snowpack structure resting on the November PWL. We felt numerous big collapses through out the trip powerful enough to knock the snow off of tree limbs and shake smaller trees. </p>
ECT test resulted in a full propogation at what appeared to be the new snow and old snow interface at 105cms (60cm's below the surface).
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>The November PWL (facets) deep in the snowpack are still there but was not reactive in ECT tests. </p> <p>Two stability tests revealed a collapse and propogation at about 24" deep from the surface. This appeared to be a the new/old snow interface.</p>
18 to 24" of new snow (paste) covering the whole area provided great powder riding with over the hood snow with a soft base.
