Tried secret chute and then proceeded along the ridge to a sw aspect, very wind swept at the top and very quickly turning to powder. W aspect of the burn was fantastic skiing with seemingly no crust.
Slope skiers left of secret chute, started with a ski cut, cracking and running off skis 5 cm down. Silde slipped to point pictured and slab stepped down ≈ 30cm very quickly looked at the snow and decided to boot pack back to ridge top because of uncertainty in slope and surrounding features. Happy to call this a learning experience and not to be swept into the wall below.
