Quick Observation

As yesterday’s MIN noted, conditions were a bit touchy at Hilda. Heard 3 large whumphs on the uptrack at the upper treeline. Saw the whole snowpack settle around us though nothing cracked or moved. We were in very mellow terrain. All three were on S facing aspects. Did a lap on the alpine NE facing aspect and that was pretty wind affected but the terrain was mellow enough to not worry about the generous helping of wind slabs. Heard another whoompf here. Terrain selection was super important today as I believe these could easily have remote triggered some overhead hazard. Ski down the glades and trees was fun on the N and E aspects as the snow was soft but supportive
