Climbed up to Zoa sub peak and skied two short laps on the north aspect off the ridge. Cloudy but cleared in the afternoon, no wind. Very busy in the area and looked like previous day was as well. Some localized wind effect. Dug a small pit (had CT14 down ~30 RP and no other result). We remote triggered a small windslab while skiing beside a convexity (pictured here). We also witnessed a small slide on a slightly steeper slope send a skier down a few metres, also on the wind effected top layer (they were fine and continued skiing). We stuck to mellow, treed terrain. Snow quality was good, powder, bit on the dense side.
