Collapsing, cracking and recent natural avalanche in northern Bridgers

Skiers around Frazier Basin and also at Flathead Pass reported collapsing and cracking as they skied. From Flathead pass, "Lots of collapses and whumphs. Obvious soft slab fractures in new and drifted snow. Saw evidence of point release avalanches on steeper terrain around cliffs. Also saw a crown that appeared to have triggered on the new wind loaded snow, NE aspect. It was approx. 200 feet below a steep rocky ridge."
