Wind Loading, Collapsing, Poor Snowpack Structure
Red Flags Comment
<p>Experienced multiple collapses. Not as booming as Saturday, but the snowpack defiantly let you know it was adjusting to the big weekend storm.</p>

Both slopes look similar, but just a nuance in aspect change is the difference between a relatively safe, sunny slope with no old snow (it's where the dolphins swim) or a dangerous, sketchy snowpack (it's where the sharks live)

Instability Comment
<p>The north half of the compass exhibits glaring structural issues (strong snow on weak snow) and is super suspect. </p>

Dang.... the winds had their way in open terrain, creating upside-down, trapdoor, on-yer-toes conditions
