Tender cornices. We heard one heavy boom that lasted about 2 or 3 seconds on the other side of the ridge from our position but I don't think it released. It may have been 100 meters away or 1000 meters. A BC Parks crew at Lindeman Lake 1000 meters below us also heard it. Last photo is Rexford.
Snowpack
Heavy rain to at least 2000 meters the day or two before. Heavy wind causing blowdown, debris and extensive power outages up Chilliwack Lake road. Massive trees down uprooted and snapped off. Mountains were plastered above 2000 m. Crust was supportive for skiing.
