- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Numerous loud booming collapses from 5400' to 6200'. Cracking only in new snow. (10" deep)</p>
Overall, stability is poor in low elevations. Collapsing, cracking, and poor snowpack structure are all apparent. Cooler temps overnight should help solidify things though the saturated snow is well insulated.
Snowpack
10" of medium to high density snow on top of saturated snowpack made for difficult trailbreaking as well as descending. We punched through regularly as we climbed up sometimes sinking up to 2' deep. More damp than anticipated as the new snow is insulating the rain saturated snow.
