Birchy Landslide

Warm day (-4C) after several days of cold weather (-15C). 32 cm of damp powder (I think we need another category for 'maritime powder'!) over much denser layer (by ski pole test) at all elevations. Skied over a small cornice at ridge-line on short, low-consequence slope, then made a ski cut which resulted in a damp sluff: no propagation, but the snow cut loose above me. Skied fast into trees so no picture of the open slope, pic from where I stopped in the trees.
