Booted up South on supportive and unreactive snow varying from pencil hard and wind scoured to soft and unconsolidated foot (but bot boot top) deep. Entered the line in a different way than I exited and immediately noticed small shooting cracks . Decided to travel towards the dish on the skier’s right that I had booted up on and knew had pencil hard scoured areas. Triggered a slab when traversing between skier’s leftmost “dish” at the top of south to the one on skier’s right. Skied the rest of the line without any signs of instability unsurprisingly since most of it is wind scoured.
