- <p>Fantastic whumpfing today. Weighting any piece of untracked snow led to immediate audible collapses that propagated across the slope. </p>
Great day to stay on low angle slopes.
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Observers noted natural avalanches in the Cornice Ridge area. </p>
New snow totaled between 10-15" sitting on top of a 6-10"shallow, faceting ground layer. The new snow was fairly inverted with just a couple inches of lighter graupel on top.
The snowpack was very reactive to the weight of a skier with loud, booming collapsing heard/felt/seen throughout the day.
Extensive cracking was also observed.
