Beautiful sunny day for an exploratory walkabout. Easy travel but breakable wind slab made for poor skiing. One recent natural on a west aspect - size 1. Watched two point releases slide from steep, rocky south facing start zone in full sun, 2pm-ish. (Took the photo before the 2nd release occurred. The second was similar and ran to looker's right of the first) Didn't appear to be a lot of volume of snow but ran quite far and quickly.
