- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Wind loading was increasing rapidly on East thru North east slopes. Small < 2" pockets of wind slab had already begun to form, they showed some signs of limited cracking but seemed mostly glued to the old snow surface. Evidence of Wet Loose naturals in West Scotties and Birthday chutes areas - big enough to cause issue in high consequence terrain - but I believe that issue is dead until we see the sun again. Poor structure still exists around Jan facets but no results with stability tests on NW above 10k</p>
Snowpack
Snow quality varied greatly by aspect. North still held good, dense settled snow. West was a mix of sun and wind crusts with a trace of new snow on top. South was almost supportable in spots, but mostly breakable about 2-3" thick.
