Evening Ridge Whumpfing

<p>When setting a skin track, we encountered a large number of whumpfs, and shooting cracks that propagated surprisingly far on relatively mellow terrain.
This had us turn around early during the approach and pick a very conservative line out of the area.
Be cautious until the storm slab settles.
