We originally planned to ski Bonney Moraines but the area was closed due to avalanche control. We headed to the Asulkhan to ski the Triangle Trees. The snow was deep and dry above 1500m.

A skier in our group triggered a size 1.5 wind slab on a convexity on the top of the roll at treeline while skiing down from the Asulkhan Hut. He was able to ski out safely to the right.
