We stuck to the lower ridge and loose upper treeline in the bow summit area. While skinning from one run to the next, we noticed what appeared to be a fresh (less than 24 hours) size 1.5 slide. The crown was directly below some exposed rock on a line not typically skied with little tracks to no tracks around, so we suspect it was a natural. It was difficult to tell from our view point if it was two smaller slides that occurred in close proximity or one larger crown.
