Quick Observation

We found good skiing on N aspects. Saw another group ski SE aspects. All over 30 degrees. Mod wind from NE created wsl on NW aspects which we travelled up. Triggered a size 1 at 1950m NW.

Avalanche Information

Trying to tip toe up NW wind loaded ridge feature. Felt wsl and tried to continue. No other good route options to ascend. Sure enough the slab released an I skied with it and off to the side. Should have know better. Continued up bed surface after. Graupel layer down 20-30cm mod RP shears. Skied steep N later in day, no wsl present.
