Big collapse

Date of Observation: 12/16/2021
Name: Jeff Banks

Zone: Southeast Mountains
Route Description: Forest Road going up to green lakes

Observed avalanche activity: No
Snowpack: Big collapse in an open clearing of a road cut, dropped a couple inches. To paraphrase an old Cake song; bowel shaking earth quakes of doubt & remorse. Skinned for a couple of km of low angle forest and this was perhaps the most wide open clearing we encountered & notably only collapse, in otherwise dense, silent forest.
