Quick report

Red Flags
Recent Avalanches, Wind Loading, Cracking, Collapsing, Poor Snowpack Structure

Lots of collapsing on the western side of the compass in mid-upper elevations. An occasional shooting crack here and there. Thick wind skin as well which can be attributed from the past few days strong winds. Western faces were pretty scoured.

Went to the eastern side of the compass and noticed a few less collapses but we were on a more tracked out run. Noticeable wind loading at higher elevations, again from the past few days of wind.

Plenty of human triggered and natural slides from the past few days on western - eastern aspects.
