Snowpack

We observed rumbling collapses/whumphing throughout the terrain we traveled in. Notably we had 4 large collapses above treeline on west aspects and a large shooting crack on the same aspect. We had one large rumbling collapse BTL on a west aspect. Average snow depth NTL was 100-150cms

Avalanche

We saw one old crown on a south aspect above treeline. The crown was buried by snow from wind transport on the 16th/17th assuming a natural release that occured sometime during the weekend storm.
