- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Cracking is very localized and shallow, dropped a handful of motorcycle sized cornices with limited cracking and some minor sluffing. Tried to start a slide with a ski cut on Sound of Music main bowl, got lots of cracks but nothing moving. Really good skiing, snow knee to mid thigh deep.</p>
just a few picks from our cornice stomping and moon rocks skiing

- <p>I imagine you can still find spots where the new snow/wind slab problems from yesterday haven't bonded yet, but we couldn't find it despite best efforts on various slopes up to 40 degrees.</p> <p>Cornices are large and fairly sensitive although the ones we messed with broke somewhat predictably - these were on test slopes we are very comfortable with and low consequence. We stayed clear of the really big ones.</p>
Top 2-3" very sensitive and cracking locally without much effort, but not going anywhere. new snow now seems bonded to old surface.
