Stoop Chutes at steep creek

Ski cut a size 2 on one of the stoop chutes on Wednesday. Dug a pit above and had top 5-10cm crack on CTE4 but didn't propagate in ECT. On CTM16 it cracked on solar crust/facets down 15-20cm that formed earlier in the week but again, didn't propagate. Snowboarder road into open section and across to tree safety. Cracks shot out after 2nd bounce. Slid on solar crust/facets that formed earlier in the week. Changed plans and road down chute 56 and enjoyed some great turns with great snow in there.
