Quick report

Cracking
widespread
Collapsing
widespread

Whoomphing/cracking was widespread, shallow Snowpack is still adjusting to recent load. Bottom 65 cm of snowpack has faceted heavily. Warming in the PM had solar aspects moving aggressively. Certainly would seem like dialing it back would be the brand of choice as we come into this next storm cycle. Widespread panic: lots of collapsing and cracking. Snpx is less complex but equally unstable up north. Kept it low angle. ECTP13 in our pit, failed on the extensively faceted bottom 65 cm of the snpx.
