Whumpfing Observed
1

There was one very small whumpf in a highly wind affected alpine slope. This was an isolated observation and no other whumpfing was observed. ICT showed a facet layer sudden collapse between CTM 11-15 on average. One CTH 30 result down 109cm SC as well. Upper snowpack was a series of storm interfaces with no major consolidation.
