We kept it conservative and went for a tour up grizzly shoulder. We did not observe any wumphing or shooting cracks on the shoulder, but on the approach, we noticed a (previously) skier-triggered slab across the valley, on hourglass (pictured). We could feel the crust layer approx 30cms below the snow surface. On the way down, we stayed away from the steeper slopes given the avalanche forecast. The top layer of powder over the crust was nice.
