Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Triggered a large, LOUD shooting crack today on a NE facing slope at 9800'. Slope angle 10-15 degrees. Propagated about 75 feet. Located right below the ridge where a slide had been reported Dec 20 - hide a way park. PWL still very active.</p> <p>Some minor cracking and whumphing on ridges, mostly south facing. Likely from recent wind event.</p>
