- Red Flags Comment
- <p>No huge red flags, but a lack of cohesion between old and new snow interface was the biggest issue today. </p>
Just like they tell you, today was one of those days were the safest and best riding is on lower angled, sheltered terrain. Anything steep will stuff to the old snow crust. Also, we learned the hard way that there are a lot of buried rocks just under the snow surface now. Be aware, you're skis will thank you!
Loose dry stuffing on Flanagans. Manageable but worth taking extra caution.
Great turns on lower angle slopes.
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Considerable stuffing on slopes steeper than 38 degrees. There's enough snow out there to catch you if you're on a big face or heading into a terrain trap. Settlement and overnight bonding may reduce the ease of triggering loose snow by tomorrow. </p>
Snow was somewhere between dust on crust and powder. Needs some time to bind to the hard crust below.
