Quick report

Cracking
widespread
Collapsing
widespread

As we toured up we had widespread and constant settling and loud whumphing, with entire clearings remotely settling up to 40' in all directions. Every step and new clearing settled on us from the creek up to 3000'. Stuck with some low angle laps for the day. Some frozen crust below 2800' but slowly disappeared above that. Dug down just to check out the reactive layer at the ground with full propagation: 85 4F 70 1F 20 F ECTP7- ESE 3000' 230pm Started snowing significantly as we left.
