West of Hummingbird Pass

<p>We skied area west of Hummingbird Pass. 20-30cms new low density snow. We remotely triggered a D2 soft slab on a north facing slope from the ridge top west of Hummingbird Pass and north of the road to Whitewater. Crown was 20-30cms. Lots of settling and shooting cracks on all aspects.. Skier triggered smaller pockets on short steep rolls on NE aspect. Revised tour plans to safely return to the car.</p>
