- Red Flags Comment
- <p>I'm getting my red flags from the reports that have come in, not from personal experience. </p>
We did an ECT pit near the bottom of Wilson Glade that took a fair bit of effort to pop out on the facets at the ground (see video; we thought it would be interesting, but it wasn't; nothing happened. pretty much 1-finger hardness throughout. However, we did get a solid whoomph as we ascended the ridge near the top, but the WG shot did not slide? then we and 2 other groups skied it pretty hard. if the video uploads as poorly as my picture did yesterday...sorry. I'm kind of a noob at this.
I rated the danger as "moderate" - just as I did yesterday - because clearly (as the Mill Creek avy indicated) human triggered avalanches are possible, but seems like you gotta want them to create them.

- <p>like everyone else, I've been hearing about the near-ground facet development from the Oct storms. </p> <p>on/near ridges there has been some windslab development</p>
