Came across a very small isolated avalanche below a stand of trees. Looked to be a wind slab that was remote triggered by another skier’s up track - but that is my conclusion based on what I thought were faint shooting cracks seen as we ascended by it. Slide looked to be a good representative of the problem in the larger forecasting area. The rest of Crowfoot Glades skied well and we did not encounter any other signs or whumping. Day was a mix of sun and cloud. Comfortable temperatures (below zero) and only a slight wind was felt at the high point of the moraines.
