Quick Observation

Last day at Red. Wanted to get a last lap on the south facing slope that looks at the cabin. Dug a pit considering the new snow overnight (~10cm) and we wanted to perhaps ski the big open gentle(ish) south facing slopes. Snow depth was ~90 cm. A ~30 cm slab slid after 8 hits from the elbow, and the entire column slid again on the basal facets after 3 hits from the shoulder. We figures it was very unlikely that we would be able to trigger the entire column, but we figured that if we did the avalanche would be significant. We skied out on very mellow terrain and did not ski fall line.
