Avalanche

-top of north chute, (NE) about 12,000 feet. Our original plan was to ski north chute but after looking at it from an angle you could see a small wind slab broke off and ran almost to the bottom. After seeing this and the pretty big rollover at the entrance to north chute we decided to find a safer route. We did see two tracks out of the slide path.
