Shooting cracks, possible remote size 1

j.m.casat, Saturday 4th December, 2021 7:40PM
<p>Working our way towards Runs 1,2,3 We started to notice shooting cracks as we transitioned from an East / Northeast slope to a more northern one at around 1340m. We turned back and opted for a lower angle route outside of what looked to be a slide path. Later while crossing above a concave slope, we noticed a size 1 slide in the small bowl below where we had travelled. Unsure of it was remotely triggered by our party, or if it was there before our arrival as we did not see it in action. From where we saw it the debris looked recent and unaffected by the elements. Once skiing Run 3, there was some nice powder, maybe 15 cm overlying a thin breakable crust. Coverage seems pretty good but still some buried hazards. </p>
