Did a couple crappy laps of upper burnt trees with some turns punching down to basal facets (worst snow towards S aspect, 30 cm of powder over weak crust surrounded by facets). Moved over to more W aspect to find more supportive snow, which was found in the avi path, cautiously skied. Evidence of size 1 in rocky steep alpine, no propagation into less steep part of avi path. Sluff triggered on poorly anchored snow on rock, nothing major. By 2 pm with rising temps snow below 2200 m was getting wet, below 1900 m was like spring skiing.
