Instability Comment
<p>This morning we were skiing up the shoulder of main gobblers making sure we weren't exposing ourselves to slopes above 30. We had collapsing and cracking the entire way up. Nothing was steep enough to move but the collapses and cracks were loud and big enough to get your heart pumping. The steepest slope angle we found in the area of collapsing and cracking was 26 degrees. Slope was west facing and most of the cracking occurred from 8200' to 10,000'</p>
