Today we skied at Ashman Ridge. On our walk up to the ridge at 1400m on a south aspect we found a glide avalanche (the entire depth of the snow pack). We think this happened over a week ago. See attached photos. We skied North off the ridge and found hard wind affected snow near ridge top. Ski quality quickly improved during the descent and became powder snow. We saw no other avalanches or signs of instability. It was party cloudy today with moderate to strong NW winds at ridgetop, that were blowing snow. We found sheltered conditions in the trees!
