Whumphing in the Bridgers

I skinned up the south edge of the apron below the midways today. 12 inches plus or minus, the wind moved it a little. Hard crust underneath up to 3” thick. 3 good whoomphs on the up track and another skier that broke trail above me to the bottom of the first midway said he had a good settlement while he was stomping out a spot. I didn’t see any cracks or any movement but it made me step back
