Myself and one other skier XC skied a 17 mile loop in the caldera over 2 days. I attached a photo of our route below. We caused big rolling woompfs that ran for between 10 and ~80 feet out. It was all flat terrain but happened along our entire trip, day, night, on hills and on flats. More so in the open areas than areas with tree cover.
