Skied Crowfoot Glades towards the lower moraines. The snow was wind affected and heavily trafficked. Noticed roughly a size 1.5 that appeared to be a natural release on the slope to the north of the moraines (see photo). Some light wind at tree line and substantially more blowing straight over the Bowcrow ridge line. The snow seemed to be way less wind affected in the east facing trees on the way up the skin track but we opted not to loop back to ski the chutes and called it a day instead.
Avalanche
Noted approximately size 1.5 on slope north of the moraines. See photo.
