Red Flags Comment
<p>Widespread collapsing and the loudest "whumpf" I have ever heard. Put the fear of God in me even though I was only on a 27º slope. Small shooting cracks while breaking trail on the ridgeline heading North. </p>

Hardness profile and basal facets(≤10cm) where failure occurred and propagated with extended column test(ECTP 13).

Cracking along Garden City ridgeline.

Surface facets are in full effect.

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Extended column test failed and propagated on basal facets below cohesive(1F) slab.</p>
