Toured up to Prospector, and after our first few turns, we noticed cracking and a few slabs slide away from us - the cracking in the image propagated an additional 30cm down the slope. We quickly abandoned our plan to ski the steep trees and bootpacked back up the ridge. Be weary as the area has now had additional loading. Stay safe folks.
