Avalanche conditions

• Slab avalanches today or yesterday.

• Whumpfing or drum-like sounds or shooting cracks.

We went and poked around the north bowls of mt Casper today and found excellent riding conditions, that will only get better as snow settles. Fsr access was good but any skin tracks across creeks and through the forest are still challenging but doable. Once the snow on the trees falls to the floor forest skinning will improve significantly.

20-30cm of dry snow fell at the road with up to 45cm higher up. Multiple sz1 avalanches naturally triggered at various stages of last night's storm were observable in the north facing bowl we skied.

We experienced some whumphing, all around creek beds between 15-1700m.
