Toured around the east and north side of mt.wash. resort. Fun skiing, with only a few people. Intentional caused a size 1 avalanche.
Skiing in little rollers of a cutblock just above a road.(Zero consequence terrain). I noticed multiple shooting cracks up to 10m long. I stopped and did a couple hard hops. Sure enough a couple seconds later the little slide about 10m infront of me let loose. Wind loaded convex north aspect slope. We skied many different aspect and areas and this was the only little slide we caused or saw.
