- Recent Avalanches, Rapid Warming, Poor Snowpack Structure
- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Saw one avalanche that possibly happened Thursday night or Friday, looked like just the new snow at ~7k'. Was seeing a 200-225cm snowpack depth from 7700'-8800'. Saw CTM17 Q3 and CTM19 Q3 about 50cm down. Apeared to be on old rounding NSF. The layer that was interesting was fairly well perserved ~5cm graupel layer about 90cm from the surface. No result on CT, but with a little prying pressure popped right out.</p>

Snow was somewhat denser than yesterday in protected shady north aspects between 7700' and 8800' but still soft. Getting damp by afternoon below that. Saw surface hoar from last night down in the drainage around 7500'.
