We rode Hidden lake in really good conditions. A member of the group triggered a small slab in a steep north facing chute and another one, a bigger size .5, happened naturally in front of us while at the lake, resulting from rapid wind loading. It was time to get out of there. Wind gusts were extreme on the way back up (more than 100km/h), expect conditions to change rapidly and danger increasing drastically. We skied back via the top of the summit skier's left of the Hourglass and skied excellent snow to the bottom of the run.
