Did you see shooting cracks?
NoDid you experience collapsing or whumpfing?
Yes, IsolatedObservations
Calm day with light to moderate snowfall. Moderate westerly winds with occasional strong gusts and light to moderate transport visible up Smithbrook, on Nason Ridge, and around Henry's. We experienced some cracking on small, well-developed facets and had a few isolated and localized collapses. Mid-day temps hovered just below freezing. The slab isn't built up as cohesively BTL as it may be up higher, but there is plenty of weak snow depending where you look (freezing rain, surface hoar, facets over crust).
