Quick report

Collapsing
widespread

Solid Crust Layer to about 1,900' slowly tapering off until 2,000'. Around 1,800' started to get some collapsing than at about 2,000' we were getting consistent whoomphs up to 40 feet away. ECTP 14 at 45cm. The weak layer is still very active in this area and consistent on all aspects. Japan Trees also were getting collapsing at 2,000' on SE aspects. We saw one glide crack on on Butch that we did not notice yesterday. Widespread collapsing and whoomphing especially above crust layer at 2,000' several very large and full meadows. Japan Trees had similar results as yesterday with several large collapses.
