This one looks like it was triggered remotely since there were some snow bike tracks on the slope around 100' below. I have no idea when this occurred, but likely over the weekend after or during significant drifting from southerly winds.
I triggered three large whumpfs. I could see hairline cracks up to about 60 feet away with a couple of them. I dug down into the snow and found a persistent weak layer of very loose sugary faceted snow... Even after the whumpf I got a test score of ECTP 10 in a snow pit that I dug in the same location
