Instability Comment
<p>In the area I was skiing there was very little wind-affected snow. But in the distance you could see wind transport on the higher ridges and summits.</p> <p>Based on what I'm seeing in the observations, forecast, and my own pit, hazard was low in the zone I was skiing. Dry loose slides in steep areas above exposure and wind drifted snow on higher ridges and summits are the biggest hazards.</p>
