"Thumper crusts" and wet slabs

While skinning up from the Nisqually moraine I caused a 7 inch deep slab around 200 feet wide. It was slow moving and ran less then 100 vert. While it was on the small side if the terrain was bigger or a terrain trap it could have been real bad. It was at about 30 degrees on a NW facing slope.

Sno-mo caused a 2.5' deep x 100' wet slide off an E facing slope on 5/23 beneath the Squak. Runout was maybe 100yds. Sno-mo driver was oblivious.

Bad thumper crusts and slab releases on E Facing slopes in the Goat Rocks. Kept us yo yoing easier stuff which was awesome during such a great memorial weekend!

A number of SE-SW slopes slid pretty big Saturday and Sunday on Rainier. Big crown on the lower slopes of the Wilson Headwall complete with sympathetic slides from other locations in the bowl. Slid sometime Sunday morning/early afternoon.
