Extensive whoomphing felt and heard in the Provo mountains today. As we ascended up to about 9500, about 5 large collapses were heard. We did not notice any cracking today as we had a few days previous just after the big dump. Things seem to have bonded a little more. We kept it to lower angle tree runs to steer clear of the underlying facets that can be up to 20 inches from the ground. With only a 3 foot or so snowpack, it wouldn’t be too hard to get something to break at this layer.
