Loose Wet Releases in the Tree Triangle

Woke up to around 15cms of fresh snow at Asulkan hut. We triggered several small loose wet releases (not bigger than 0.5) as we skied the tree triangle out in the morning. The snow was still somewhat fluffy up near the hut but quickly became heavy as we descended. Tree bombs were also triggering small slides and were quite a hazard on the way out. Both my partner and I were grazed by falling bombs.
The day before we observed a thin wind crust in the alpine above the hut. It was just enough to add some pull to our turns. We were probing between 165cm and 200cm at the toe of the glacier.
