First (large) natural we ran into. NE facing 8600ft.
We had tree shacking, booming collapses the entire skin up. Cracks, shatters you name it and the snow pack was doing it.
Comments
Next natural that we ran into. All 3x naturals shared that easterly aspect and had been affected by the W'rly winds. NE 9200ft
Comments
Highest and largest of the naturals that we saw. ESE 9400ft

This is a frequent offender most seasons. Today it didn't move until it was remote triggered from lower on the slope. 9800ft NE
