- Red Flags Comment
- <p>The natural avalanche cycle did not produce as many avalanches as expected form the last storm as expected. We observed a large crown on laurel ridge that ran into Horse Creek, a few cornice drops down the north face of Tukno, and some small pockets in middle cirque that looked like they ran mid storm. We felt collapsing while traveling through laurel meadows and skinning up Julies. The north faces in Gold Basin looked they all had substantial wind loading that occured during the last storm.</p>
Snowpack
the 6" of low density powder that fell at the end of the last storm cycles has made for some great skiing conditions. However this is sitting on top of a 10" layer of very dense snow that is sitting on top a weak layer of surface facets that formed during our last cold dry spell.
