Snowpack

CT 2. Sudden planar results on two layers, 35 cm down on storm slab and 65 down on Nov 10 melt freeze. Observed shooting cracks on convex feature close to pit ( 20⁰ ) and saw evidence of two avalanches, both size 1 both on NW aspect, natural or remote trigger for both. Both releases ran off steep convex features and were well below treeline, highlighting forecasters noted that treed areas didn't represent usual 'safety' in the high hazard conditions. Experienced a pretty significant 'whoomph' underfoot as group.traversed out 15 m below me at the snowpack site, skier 15 m above me also felt it, showing how widely this layer will be propagating.
