- Poor Snowpack Structure
- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Sure the structure is not ideal, but considering the total snow depth, the small grained facets appear to be well adjusted. Of bigger concern is the low tide conditions. A lot of slopes are white from far.... but far from white. Slamming into an obstacle seems like the most likely season ending hazard right now.</p>
Sorta never get tired of this view-
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Recent winds have cross loaded chutes and gullies, but you'd really have to go out of your way to trigger one. I was finding the slab to be rather relaxed and unreactive.</p>
Mixed bag for sure, though the couple inches of dense graupel from Thursday night provided a soft cushion. Of note was the rather impressive graupel pooling underneath cliff bands. Certainly not a concern now. Perhaps a consideration once it starts snowing again.
