Snowpack

Whumphing on SE, E, and NE slopes BTL. NE slopes had the least localised collapses, to 60 feet away. SE slope BTL had a thin sun crust from Friday and a prominent ice layer on ground, with facets between the recent storm snow and this ice layer. NE aspect failing on large basal facets, but also provided clean shears on a weak layer bewteen Thanksgiving and early December storms.
