Skied laps on SE aspect on Mount Richardson outlier. About 20cm fresh snow on a hard crust where we descended from 2400m on SE aspect. Crust present and supportive when skinning short distance at 2400m onto more northerly aspect of ridge, however upon turning onto slightly steeper slope angle, produced large slope settlement (N aspect). Recent natural wind slab avalanche observed on alpine NE aspect on the way up.
