Red Flags Comment
<p>Localized collapse observed underfoot on a due south slope at 10,440 at 1030 this morning. Photo of cracking attached as well (fourth photo). </p>

Attached are photos of small wind slabs, both natural and skier triggered. Two of the attached pockets were triggered remotely from travel on the ridge above. Depths seemed consistently to be 6" deep, and these avalanches were not propagating widely.

Snowpack

Snow observed to be generally right side up. Periods of wind and potential greenhousing made surface snow more dense on S through W.
