Cracking
Poor Snowpack Structure
Comments
Not the best photo to show the full extent of the collapse, but nonetheless, pretty significant cracking is present. Came down a slope and found that a group before us had triggered the entire slope to collapse. Cracks ran about 30 feet and were falling on the older snow that had faceted. Goes to show how reactive the snowpack is.
