Quick Observation
Avalanche Information
Skied glacier crest into ravens on thursday. On glacier crest, wind slab popped just above treeline near the end of the summer trail. Decent propagation but shallow (did not trigger lower crust) and did not run anywhere. No other signs of instability were observed on the way up. We steered clear of bigger slopes and skied the trees where there was less wind effect, the snow was better there. No signs of solar warming creating a slab problem despite the aspect. No issues on ravens either.
