Whumpfy all over

Istrong, Monday 24th February, 2025 9:00AM
Strolled out to Pedley pass for some mellow tree skiing post storm. 10-20cm fell with the amount increasing with elevation. Sampled the SW slopes behind the main bowl. 30cm of heavy 4F wind effected snow sat on the surface with F facets and various old wind effected below. A MFcr was noted only on direct S at TL and below 2000m on all aspects. Surprising lack of natural activity with only 1 slab in steep S below extreme terrain. However whumpfing occurred whenever you left the main skin track at TL and on S slopes with entire slopes settling at once. No slumping or movement however we stayed on slopes <30 degrees. Skied steep N in dense trees and only had one settlement in a small wind loaded pocket. Main bowl was reloaded with significant wind loading at ridge line. Scouring noted in the alpine.
