Red Red Redfish

<p>We toured up Redfish Creek to go ski some trees and immediately noticed tonnes of signs. We saw a natural avalanche on a 35ish degree slope that propagated probably 20m or more in some open trees. We then decided to stick to super low angle dense trees and toured up sub 30 slopes but had at least 3 good whumps. We dug a pit at the top and got a sudden planar result at 4 from the wrist on our compression test failing 30cms down. On the way down a group member ski cut a sub 30-degree slope and was able to trigger a large slab that propagated quickly. (The photo of the pit is not of the result but just some of the layers. The result was sudden planar down 30)</p>
