Did you see shooting cracks?
NoDid you experience collapsing or whumpfing?
Yes, WidespreadObservations
Was hok skiing in the Methow Wildlife Area just east of Pearrygin Lake between 2,500-3,000' elevation. There was widespread collapsing and whumpfing of the snowpack so I stuck to completely flat, benign terrain. North facing wind affected slopes seemed much more consolidated. I have a video of the snowpack whumpfing here: https://fb.watch/2ygS0vDnl2/
