- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Red flags continue to be primarily the large amount of avalanche activity and the amount of snow we added to the snowpack in a short period of time. The human triggered avalanches in Smith and Moorehouse area yesterday are evidence that some slopes remain teetering on the edge.</p>
A little better visibility today allowed glimpses of the large natural avalanche cycle. Some slopes appeared to break to the ground, others failed on mid-pack facets, most likely the ones formed at the end of December. Some pictures were tweaked to make the crowns visible.
Snowpack
5" new from yesterday and overnight, 1" new fell during the day. Density was 10%.
