Kept it really chill today, just did one lap, not surprised to see some reactivity on the surface hoar but always interesting to look at up close. Surface snow is definitely becoming more of a slab.

Avalanche

Remote triggerd a small size 1 on a convex roll in an unsupported glade. Observed up to 15mm well preserved surface hoar on bed surface. Crown was 60cm deep. 1f to 4f slab above the weak layer. No crust observed in bed surface. We continued to ski cut small glades on they way down the run but did not have any more reactivity.
