Quick report
- Collapsing
- isolated
Toured Fireplug Peak at 3pm today. I believe I was the first person to set a skin track in today’s fresh snow. Summited the south east summit. Skied a high line skier cut on the Northeast facing chutes. This snow was very touchy and gave way easily. New 6inches of snow all immediately moved and continued down the chute. Total slide was approximately 20-30ft wide and carried for 100+ft down. Snow was very light and avy debris was easily skiable on exit. Lower angles and continued treeline showed no instability on exit.
