Comments

Descending south slope after Triffid Glacier Col, first skier down the slope triggered a large whumph sound / settlement.

2 skiers continued down slope afterwards with no additional activity.

We tried to hit all downhill slopes as early as possible because of recent warming and sun exposure.
