Comments
Flagstaff Gully is S SW facing, with no facets (as of 9am to 1:30 pm) in the upper elevation areas, but encountered some faceted snow closer to the road, in the lower elevations (below 9,000 ft.). The wind was strong all day, so there's potential for wind loading. Good structure otherwise and no signs of recent avalanches.
