Quick report
- Red Flags
- Wind Loading, Cracking, Collapsing, Poor Snowpack Structure
- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Lots of localized cracking paired with big booming collapses. In areas with heavy wind transport where the slab was stiffer we got big booming collapses on 2nd and 3rd times up the skin track. </p>
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>PWL. Its evident in almost everywhere we traveled today on E, N & W at mid elevations. In areas along the the ridgeline where the wind slab was stiffer it took a 2nd or 3rd time up the skin track to get a collapse. </p> <p>Winds were strong out of the SW even at mid elevation ridgelines. Snow was transporting far across slope and down Millcreek canyon and would expect loading on all aspects because of this. </p>
