Quick report

Toured from South Fork Eagle River trailhead over Hunter Pass into North Bowl. This was my second day in the row in this zone and I noticed old tracks had been buried by southerly wind blown snow over night. Small wind slab was triggered from just below the ridge line convexity. Partner was easily able to traverse out of the slab.
