- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Had cracking and collapsing near ridgeline in wind drifted snow 6-18” deep. Sitting on the stout melt freeze crust that has small grain facets on its top and bottom sides. Once undercut, the wind slabs would move, but generally seemed low energy for now. No cracking or collapsing from the deeper PWL under crust or at ground. </p>
Snowpack
Variable 4-18" new and wind blown snow on top of a stout melt freeze crust that got harder as we descended (1F near top, P near bottom)
