- Instability Comment
- <p>Loose Dry as reported above. This problem should settle out significantly overnight, but still may be reactive in very steep terrain. </p> <p>Any brief periods of direct solar on Thursday will likely instigate this issue and prompt Loose Wet activity in the new snow on exposed slopes. Slick and firm bed surfaces may allow these Loose Wet Avalanches to run considerably far and fast. </p> <p> </p> <p>A Moderate Hazard for this issue on Thursday is dependent on the aforementioned contributing factor of Solar input. </p>
Excellent spring Powder riding that was best on moderate to low angle slopes due to the firm crusts the new snow landed on. Old tracks, clinkers, and sastrugi provided a rough ride in areas where the old snow surface wasn't smooth.
