Observation before skiing the line. HS95 HST30 (fist) F1 below. November 31 rain crust 35cm down not reactive. Temps -5 sun and cloud. Feeling good about the snowpack Decided to ski cut the corner of convex slope with a safe exit that produced the avalanche. Skier was able to ski out of harms way. Others in the group skied down on supported low angle slope. After going back up to observe the snow pack failed on a sun crust 30cm down 3 cm thick November 31 rain crust was 10 cm below sun crust We did not see the sun crust on lower angle same aspect slopes. Watch out for Steep solar aspects
