- <p>Wide spread cracking whumpfing, and collapsing at our buried persistent weak layer. </p>
We are dealing with extremely challenging conditions. In one instance you can experience wide spread cracking an whumpfing from our buried persistent weak layer, and in the next second get few to no results from your standardized tests in your pit, as this seemingly very reactive layer reacts stubbornly. Truly a ticking time bomb. Our only option is to continue making conservative terrain choices out of avalanche terrain.
Snowpack
Todays tour produced a little of everything from wind drifted snow, and recycled powder, to an freshen up of an inch of powder! We experience cracking a whumpfing on many of our low angle slopes we chose to tour on.
