Weird retirement hobby #14 - hunting for whumpfs. A whumpf is the sound made when a weak snowpack layer collapses and the collapse propagates. In this case, the collapse is initiated by a skier walking on a meadow with gentle terrain. #whumpf #persistentweaklayer #crackpropagation #trigger #snowslab
