Did you see shooting cracks?
NoDid you experience collapsing or whumpfing?
Yes, WidespreadObservations
The snow on the backside of Whitehorse was warm and coming down in small chunks. We were hiking along a bootpath that often had been taken out by slides. On the way off the mountain that afternoon, this area had slid some more, losing some of the tracks we made. It seemed to have less snow above on the ridgeline than what I observed on the north side
