- <p>No red flags except for the snow pack structure.</p>
Had a look at the Monitors today, W Monitor looked a bit rocky, no new slides in the new snow but recent avalanches were still visible, I thought sluffing was going to be a issue with new light density snow sitting on hard bed surfaces but it wasn't really a issue. In S Monitor the old slide from a few days ago was still visible, skied the non avalanched side basically dust on crust but the crust was wind board and edgable, I don't think the new snow load was enough to change the hazard much. No cracking or collapsing noted into today's travels. South facing stayed dry all day and should still be that way tomorrow morning. photos: S and W Monitor from the top and the old slide in S Monitor
Snowpack
Light density snow sitting on a verity of bed surfaces, wind board in wind effected terrain, melt freeze crust on the S side of the compass and settled dense powder in the protected terrain.
