Quick report
- Cracking
- specific
- Collapsing
- widespread
Small tree bombs and small roller balls that wasn’t alarming, minimal. Dry loose sluffs while skiing, almost too much snow for low low angle skiing. We picked a flat area on a SW slope towards the ridge to dig a quick pit. While isolating the column and moving around inside the pit we had a loud whumpf and our column collapsed 3-4’ down. Our flat pit had no propagation. Storm snow had increasing density down towards the first crust layer.
