Spent the day riding some sweet lines behind White Queen. Snow quality was amazing but we saw significant signs of storm slab activity and triggered a few sluff layers in steeper areas, as well as noted some fracture lines on convex slopes. The most significant observation was made during our skin out where we spotted a large (~20cm) crown on a fairly mellow convex slope near the ridge. It appeared to be skier triggered and likely happened a day or two previous as we didn’t see/hear anybody else in the area today. Stay vigilant out there, the riding is great but it can be spicy!
