Shooting Cracks Ross Peak

From obs 3/12/22: "A group of four of us were hoping to ski the banana couloir on Ross Peak today, knowing wind loading would likely be an issue. We approached from the east (?) ridge, and gained enough elevation to cross the face towards the entrance of the line. Upon exiting the protected ridge towards the face (about ~100 ft from the entrance to the banana) we experienced shooting cracks on the heavily cross loaded slope. The wind was blowing heavily and swirling, coming predominately out of the Southwest, which was odd. We decided to turn around and enjoy some highly variable meadow skipping  back to the car."
