Cracking

Skier in my group triggered one shooting crack on a convex rollover. Skiers in my group with better hearing (mine is bad) reported whoomphing (sp?) in the snow pack. I dug a pit down 1m past what I think was the solstice crust on a SE facing slope. I could not trigger an instability on a regular column test, but did experience a shear on a shovel tilt test. Did not perform an ECT. We proceeded to ski relatively low angle/lower consequence terrain.
