- Instability Comment
- <p>Evidence of recent wind loading on east to northeast aspects at high elevation. It seems like these pockets are stubborn and isolated, however, I suspect with the volume of backcountry travelers out tomorrow someone will find a pocket.</p> <p>Enjoy the great skiing and riding while we can, as this storm comes in, I expect conditions to rapidly change and danger to rise.</p>
Near surface facets rapidly developing. 2-3mm facets well developed from the surface down 10cm. 3-5mm surface hoar on mid elevation slopes sheltered from the wind and sun.
