Comments
Attached are a few photos.
photo one is wind loading, an east facing aspect. Where you can see the wind affect the slopes, something to keep in mind with all this recent high wind storms. the second is a 15ft crack. Twice while coming down short swing I saw 2 separate cracks and heard a whompf sound. Even in low angle terrain, these cracks and collapsing is something to think about.
