Quick Observation
Deep blower snow on north facing sheltered runs! Spent the last few days riding various areas of the rossland range. Conducted stability tests with limited results and didn't see/cause much avalanche activity which had me feeling confident in conditions. Pushed onto a known producer slope I shouldn't have and set off a small slab.
Avalanche Information
My first turn on a steeper, less supported part of plewman bowl released a soft, shallow slab that propagated about 10-15m wide, ran about 50-100m downslope. Easily rode out of the size 1 slide. Was feeling confident in conditions and was a predictable event but I shouldn't have decided to ride that slope.
