woompheg

The sound made when snow becomes unstable and compresses in an instant. It requires conditions where heavier snow has fallen on top on top of much lighter less condensed snow below. The surface area of usually 40+ square feet can compress down and pack the snow below causing the air out and producing an eerie sound.
As I was snowshoeing through some very deep snow, I saw and heard a woompheg.
