Quick report

Cracking
specific

A top to bottom d2 avalanche lookers left in red cone. Triggered by gentle skiing on the ridge. Better conditions found on southeastern aspects in the trees though strep bits were moving. Better than expected coverage, didn’t even put another scratch on the rock board despite charging suspect features.

I triggered a probably d2 avalanche lookers left in red cone just by cresting the ridge to the bowl. No kicks necessary. Very unstable at that aspect. Had a feeling but wanted to see for myself.
