Whumpfing and Cracking at Bacon Rind
While ascending the burn, we triggered so many thunderous collapses that we quickly lost count. These collapses shook snow off the trees around us and visibly dropped the snow surface beneath our feet. Near the top of the ridge, we saw a large avalanche (SS-N-R3-D2-O) that broke on a north facing aspect, around 2' deep, on weak snow near the ground a week ago. It was not clear whether it was one large avalanche or two that released sympathetically with one another. If one slide, this avalanche broke nearly 900' wide and slid around 1000' vertical. It broke during the most recent period of intense loading in this area, likely January 5th or 6th.
