Ski toured towards sheep mountain above Gardiner MT to a spot I have skied frequently the last 4 years fall, winter and spring. Never had I had so many cracks or whumphs up there. 2 very large whumphs in different locations where the whole meadow (25 degrees) settled ~2cm and cracks shot out as well. Dug a pit on a 28 degree east facing slope at 8800 feet. Broke on ectp2 directly above 8cm of facets (fist) with rounding grains above it (1 finger) shovel shear broke on the same level as well as the Column test (ctp7)
