Quick report

No instabilities observed via standard Coneys approach and uptrack. Skied 1st lap in main bowl with no signs of instability. Traveled to the high point on the ridge to consider second lap options. Obvious wind lip north of the high point along the ridge. Observed 2 ski tracks from earlier in the day that started from the high point on the ridge but did not trigger anything. Continued traveling north from the high point for approximately 25 feet when the slide was triggered. Crown approximately 2 ft deep and 200 ft wide, slid on old bed surface.
