Busy day on the backside

Had a nice day with the stability and vis dropping into the backside cliff bowl chutes and finishing the day on the backside of gem. As usual, wind affected up top and good quality riding in sheltered Lee areas. Ski cutting our line off gem produced sz 0.5 of the top 10-15 of new wind slab, definitely enough slough to pull you around. I wanted to highlight something I saw with my touring partner as there were quite a few folks enjoying the good touring conditions out there. It seems we had a few groups [in my opinion] making some travel decisions that might have got us all into trouble if a rare slide occurred or if the avy hazard had been higher. I don't want to shame anyone, just point out some hazards others may not have been aware of so that we can keep each other safer out there. In the attached picture, we had a skin track (yellow dotted line) that cut across the face of a few avy paths/ski lines. On top of the hazard of skiers up top, it feels [to me] like unnecessary exposure to overhead, should you remote one of those paths and bring something down on top of you. I saw at least 2 people using this route, but I imagine others would have taken it once it was set. Also, we had a fairly large group digging a pit (lower group outlined in blue) more or less in one of the ski lines/avy chutes. Same story with skiers overhead and being in an avalanche path. Not to mention a new hole someone might come across at high speed in the end of a run. The back bowl has a lot of nice mellow open meadows at the same aspect as those lines only a few hundred meters away that [I think] are better suited to both skinning up and digging pits, and we don't have to be in each other's way with the amount of space back there. I know the snowpack is quite stable at the moment, and again I don't want to shame anyone/I'm happy to accept criticism as we are all learning, but i felt the need to speak up as I think we have an obligation to keep each other safe out there. That being said I hope we all had great turns and it's cool to see so many people getting after it in the backcountry.

30-40 cm of fist to 4-finger snow on a thick crust. Below that 1 finger snow to ground. The snow at ground is moist and dense
