Notes

From email: "Went for a tour today on specimen ridge in yellowstone park. Stuck to terrain well below 30 degrees. Widespread whumphs throughout tour. Cracking and collapsing snowpack on small convexities. Observed multiple small avalanches on windloaded slopes. I believe they were triggered remotely by game."
